Oblivion
Death is a luxury
known to a fortunate few,
in darkness it searches,
for a new prey to pursue.
Guttural and raw,
it may seem so,
but in its grasp,
none try to let go.
They say death is dark,
black and coarse.
Perhaps it’s ethereal,
a creature with remorse.
In its embrace
there lies a quiet reprieve,
a goodbye to all,
and the bodies that grieve.

I have always believed that death is not ugly, or something to frown upon. Rather, it is a circle of life. We do not look at a mother giving birth and feel disgusted or upset. It is beautiful and natural. So is death. Why disgrace death? I like to believe that everything happens for a reason, and death too, has a reason. No one likes to die, but perhaps our lives would be unfulfilled without it. In another perspective, death is the finish line to life.
