Eternity Calls

Around me i see, 

 it's all the same,

    so many are gone,

 there's no more flame.

    As eternity calls,

 she adds to your stress,

    to drag you down,

 to give you less.

    Their faces I see,

 hold on to it's ware,

    all struggles are over,

 no more to bare.

    When it's all over,

 lights angels arrive,

    to take you home,

 this world you survived.

Death seems to influence everyone in profound ways. We get upset when other people enter eternity, yet it's a solemn moment when it comes for us. It's the natural progression of life, which you should enjoy every minute of, taking the good with the bad as the inherent joy of living. Anyway, intriguing poem, good job with this one.   -KMD
