Death's Door

Isn't it just crazy 
how we-
Yes, me and you
are going to walk through 
Death's door one day?

We all will trip,
stumble, and slip
into an eternal void.
And we all try to avoid
so we bow and kneel, and pray.

And then we-
Yes, you and me,
Slide into a black
Unmoved because we lack the proper light. 
Does that give you a proper fright?

Heya Brittany, I believe most people have a sense and natural fear of mortality, poetry is a great way to ask ourselves these sometimes taboo questions, the reality IMO is it’ll just be like before you where born, and anything again can become possible, nice poem I enjoyed, cheers David
