Death

Death...
The kiss of eternity.
The promise to all who live.
It takes our knowleedge...
It takes our dreams...
It takes all but our goodness.
Its power is in the taking.
It comes to all that live...
Life and death produce each other...
And so neither should be feared.
Infinitely deep and yet shallow...
Umpartial to all...
Uniting us all...
Life and death.
By knowing the constant,
this does not concern us..
This is the way of heaven and earth.
Wes D. Sturdevant
