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! :)
