Life
She looks out into the darkness as if daring it to come closer
For every two steps forward she takes one back
One step back shows her retreat
Her retreat from what is life
She fears the darkness
Ever keeping her distance, yet allowing the inevitable
She wants to know the answer
What is life? A game? A journey?
What is death? A relief? An end? A beginning?
The answer never comes
She runs out of time
The darkness swallows all, yet she struggles to survive
Fighting all that is death, she fights a losing battle
But keeps the darkness from swallowing her
She wins for now, but what of later?
Only a matter of time
Only a matter of timeâ€.
