Life & Death
It all begins with a bright light and a scream.
The journey begins here.
It will be hard, there will be unpleasant times.
And the travel will also have wonderful times.
But it will only be if you and your soul allow it.
The times you spend will always be limited.
Even though it’s limited make it the best.
Through your odyssey, you're going to have to learn and treasure.
There will be obstacles you must overcome.
Even though it may be hard just know you're never alone.
Make your adventure your own not someone else's.
You will start forgetting and changing.
After so long the journey will be coming to an end.
It will happen slowly and maybe painful.
At this time there will not be anything to learn.
You're starting to treasure objects and people more than you have never before.
Then unexpectedly your journey comes to an end and all goes black...
