Okay. I know it's been FOREVER since I updated, and I should be working on Betrayal, but I just wanted to post this. I wrote this for the power of the pen, and won second place in my category. Anyway, enjoy! :)

Life is short and swift and brief

There and gone in the twinkling of an eye

It leaves us nothing but our grief

Fleet as moonlight in a star filled sky.

Life is a maze, it twists and bends

A dream from which we must awake

Where death is but a quick dead end

An unknown road we all must take.

Like the falling of a star

Like the setting of a shining sun

No matter who or what we are

Our death will take us when our day is done.

Like the daylight of midwinter

Like a wave upon a sandy shore

Life is but the tiniest of shimmers

A flicker of a moment, nothing more.

Yet though our voice may soon be silenced

Still we proudly sing our swift, sweet song

Play our music in the face of death

We all must die, yet still we carry on.

Please review! I have cake! I have cookies! I have MINT MILK MELTAWAYS!!! Thanks! :)
