We boarded the soulful train at birth. We grasp our family will be our vassal. Both of our parents will starve to death. No one escorted us toward the gravel. Our parents will debark from the train later. Hence we're left alone along this journey. Sprung people will be joining our tabor. Family and companions are at life's worry. Plenty will jump ship, leaving an endless void. Others vanish so quietly we can't notice.  It'll be a train ride of farewell and fear alloyed We must maintain a strong host alliance. We are uncertain of our exit in this mystery. But should adore, excuse, and utter our aware all. It's crucial, yet we should abandon our seats empty. We must improve comely memories for future recall.

The emotion of fear that death brings with it. But the end is determined by us and our choices.

Emotive write, Lassad. I hear a bit of poignancy --life always has that. We are never certain about the exit, as you say.

We are souls of many a bond.. the ties of Life and Love to which we respond.. We are eager to embark on journeys.. and feel bitter about those who depart and debark.. A blessing from God to pay no heed to the final stop! Profound are your thoughts, expressive is your poetry, Lassad! Stay safe and blessed. A great delight to read you.. Best regards.
