Scariest truth that is always unspoken,
Death they say is a mystery unbroken
Proves it has a mind of its own unchartered,
Cannot predict, cannot prepare this journey so encountered
With a blink, the soul unhinged moves forward,
Leaving happiness, dreams, pain & sorrow so hollow,
Unlatched gone with no reason to justify the sorrow
Clutching and turning hourglass to rewind,
Living holds on to stories that entwined
Flipping those pages of regret untold,
Wars we fought, shoulders we hold
But time is a healer, and tears dry up
Life moves on with the daily humdrum
Pain fades away, but memory stays on.
