Thoughts of death

I have returned to my space. Mainly because since I have found this outlet, I find comfort in writing my thoughts. Maybe so I can look back at it one day and think "what the hell was I thinking?!" Maybe one day I will write some amazing thought that will become a famous quote or thought process....Who knows.

Last weekend a member of my 'rainbow family' died. I knew of her. I got introduced to her once, but mostly knew her from looking at her profile on myspace and facebook. She died in her sleep peacefully. Her death has impacted me in the most amazing way. Most of last week, death was on my mind. The unknown is a very scary thing. Following this, today I was driven to write a short story and a few thoughts on the matter to ease my racing mind. This is what I came up with...

Death comes like a thief in the night.
Ready to steal your future and past sorrows.
Surrounding you like thick, black smoke.
When you awake, you are in a new existence..
watching the world go by doing its daily tasks.
Watching your family, your friends , your past girlfriends and boyfriends.
Crying.
Disbelief.
Death has come to collect her.
And she watches us crying,
screaming.
"Don't cry for me"
But we cant hear you.
You touch your loved ones, hold them, hug them..
But we cant feel you.
Then you scream.
Because you have realised that
you are now the reflection in the mirror.
