Life Like a Book

We all are made aware of the inevitable from an early age

Like a good book there is a beginning, a middle and an end
Beginnings are new, exciting, an adventure. 

In the middle we navigate each pages with the occasional twist 

As we feel the pages in our right hand slowly depleting
We deny that the story could ever end

We insist there is a sequel, an explanation to this inevitable demise

Instead we are left with blank pages and a chapter 
that can only be written by the omniscient  fingers behind the keyboard
