Comes a Musing Death
In amongst the shadows did Death open his arms.
To me he beckoned, inviting, promising the lauded solitude.
Absence of pain and failures- lost loves and heartaches.
Into his darkness I gazed and with haste did I turn away.
Humanity- the unflinching reality. A harsh life in an unforgiving world.
But in this desolate land, much beauty is to be found and I will not crumble.
I will not fail in my quest. And thus shall eternal happiness be mine.
For in my rejection of death did I choose life, and a new path do I now walk.
Light has come into the darkness, and the darkness is afraid.
With it shall I fight my battle.

You touch on this frightening subject with a beautiful cadence.
