death, is a scary journey;

death, is a scary journey

however inevitable it may be

the concept of after

sometimes difficult to fathom

and differs for each individual.

you couldn't escape death's waiting embrace

as you struggled to survive

your body's basic instincts in overdrive.

but when you finally

and hopefully willingly

let go of your grasp to life

and sink into death's chest

remember everything you have ever loved

for it will be you beacon to the other side

whatever and wherever that may be.

the love of your family and friends

will create the pathway to your destination.

all your hopes and dreams of the life left behind

will be your shining stars in the black night.

and when you reach the end

of the journey from life to death

here your soul may rest

peacefully and contently

until you can be reunited

with everyone you let into your life

and those who let you into theirs.
