Death

Death

A Poem by Beth Lindsay
"

The major questions

"

Death

what lies beyond its boundaries?

is it a fiery pit of chaos and torment?

or is it a warm light beyond the clouds?

or is it simply a lonely world of pure darkness?


Death

is it an entity?

with incomprehensible powers

with just one touch

decides who live and who dies


Death

is it a force?

one that we can not challenge

a law of nature

that shows no mercy


Death

is it truly the end or just another world

one that we can not enter in flesh

like our hearts wishes and longs for

with past relatives and old friends


Death

many fear it for it is an uncertain ending

a world that we can’t enter

an entity we can not study

a force we can not explain


Death

whoever or whatever it is

truly is the most powerful in this world

the most mysterious ruler

neither good nor bad
