The Rite of Passage

We shall all die One day. It is the way Of this Universe. We walk upon The dirt of life and death. We are but a speck Of Cosmic dust In comparison to the vastness Of Space. Our little orb appears to be unique. The stars overwhelm the night sky As I gaze Into its sparkling darkness, I can only wonder At its brilliance, And what could possibly lie beyond . . .

Great focus for a theme and well worked. You ask the question that at some point in our lives we all do and that we can relate to, this inevitable unknown, the death of the ego and recognition that we are all but tiny cogs in the vast machine of mankind.

Another one to meditate on. Well written, I like we are the dirt of life and death.

I like the idea that each one of us are just a speck of dust in the Cosmos, because the Cosmos is made up of so many different beautiful colours, and answers my question to where the mega trillions of folk go after we die, we are all making up the wonder of the Cosmos, cheers . . . : )
