Passage

Some by fire and some by shadow,
Some by silence, some by fury,
Some in peace, some still screaming.
All die on death's terms.

  1. Yes, and we don't have a say in it, for the most part.

  2. Yes, Victoria. Raw honest truth you speak.

  3. Yes for the most part we all go on death's terms no matter how we try to arrange it. We have some control over what leads up to it, but the passage itself -- who really knows? And then the eternal question of what comes afterwards.

  4. Powerful poem, Victoria. It makes me ponder how I will go. I hope not frightened, I hope not angry, I hope not terrified.

  5. Scary because of the truth held here. We don't get to choose, we can't be prepared.
