Death

All that begins with birth ends with death.
Like a candle we stay lit until the wax of life melts away.

Each breath of oxygen ages us,
each passing day warns of our impending departure.
Yet we dream and create wonders.
Engineering marvels, scientific discoveries, music and artistic displays.

Are we born to die? Definitely but more....

Fish out of water

Like a fish out of water,
my heart is now heavier.
Remnants of the past,
proof that good moments never last.
The invited, smiles and celebrates,
while the uninvited simply gets pushed aside.
