the end of now

Folder: 
Thoughts & Emotions

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

so little time

do what you must



promised relief

only leads to more strife

release in a moment

the end of all life



ashes to ashes

living to dead

the same end to us all

to eternity wed



there is peace

in the still

peace you will find

peace from the burden

of owning a mind



in death we are equal

in death we are one

another soul lifted

with the setting sun.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I recently began work at a funeral home, an industry that has always captivated and intrigued me. It is a very fierce moment when you finally realize that you, too, will be there someday. It makes the time you have seem so short and precious, with not a moment to be wasted.
