The end of life...
Reflections on Death
An unforeseen storm,
takes me by shock,
leaving me tired, no longer warm.
Darkness slowly surrounds...
no day,
no night,
nor sound,
nor clock.
. . .
My heart heavy, my head down.
Tide rolls in, rolls out.
Sunlight dances on the water.
Wind tickles, stirring the sand.
. . .
Sunlight fades, winds race.
Darkness looms - there's no escape.
Waves rise, waves fall,
a terrible harshness in their wake.
. . .
Winds stop, darkness retreats.
Tide rolls in, rolls out,
slower...
slower...
then stops.
. . .
And that is the end of life.

I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.
