Sudden Death or Patently Aware Death is Coming For You Time is Precious

As I have and I presume most of you have as well

Had at some point in our life time

Had to experience loss and death

And a Silent muse just posed the question

I am now about to ask of you to

Given that there is no good way to die

But that death is how we all meet our end

Then on which side of this decision do you fall

A sudden death in an instant

One moment here the next you are gone

Maybe perhaps wall alone with no one there

Never having said or got to make you peace

Or being given say six months to live

Ever slowly slipping fading away

Most probably suffering daily in endless pain

Never not knowing if today is the day

And having to see the look on loved ones faces

But at least you got to say and make your peace 

Goodbye and everything you wanted to say 

And the funny contradictions about death

Is it effects those way far more still living in reality 

Than the dead for sure per say

As in death the dead pose no question anymore

As they are Silent One and all forevermore
