we should learn from life

especially how to be alive

it fills the lung

it mars the flesh

a painful kiss

the touch of doom

ground to dust

sands of bone

among the dead, we roam

darkness comes in a cloud of crows

the earth is fertilized by decay

the ocean swallows every soul

for us to live, we must fear death

but it's just a dramatic ending

this life could be just one chapter

you might even like what happens next

so don't be afraid to turn the page

if you immerse yourself in life

you can just enjoy the story

when you reach the final curtain

you can be happy with what you learned from the performance

and during your next go around

you will be wiser for it
