Human Nature: Part 3 - Life and Death

Life is a river,

A river of turmoil, delight, surprises

You love,

Heal,

Laugh, play,

Grow

But you are also wounded,

You cry, suffer

Grief and sorrow gnaw at your heart

And love and happiness rebuild it

This fight tires them

Taking away your once smooth skin

Taking away your sharp sight

Taking away your perfect hearing

Taking away your agility

You turn old and spend your days

Remembering

Good times and bad

Then Death comes to take you to his kingdom

And you slip away from this world

Silently

It seems like you are sleeping

But you will never wake up

And you arrive in Death\'s world

A land of eternity

You are at finally at peace

Run

Run like the child you used to be

This is your home now

Goodbye

Until we meet again
