The Shadow of Life
Death is a sensitive matter, which is a dark and gluttonous hole, eating the happiness of loved ones;
 
 this drowns the ones we most dearly treasure in sorrow by the tons.
 
 Though, life moves on we shall always live in the memories of those who did care;
 
 however some of us had no one, leaving our souls suspended in limitless despair.
 
 Some of us are able to move into the afterlife without a hitch,
 
 but some of us have unfinished business in this life leaving us in a mourning ditch.
 
 Those of us who die with a scowl,
 
 fly free as an owl.
 
 Though, when we die with a smile
 
 we remain happy for a while, making us versatile.
 
 Coming to an end like it may, how life always must;
 
 life is short, live it to the fullest or you may become dust,
 
 or maybe, struck with misfortune you may be cleaved by a dull blade, leaving blood as but a crust.
