~Death~

The worst feeling you experience is not Death.
It is Death's invitation into your home;
sitting at the dinner table amongst your family,
observing the love being passed from plate to plate,
saying a prayer that only God could hear, but he can't.
His invitation will leave you with an impression that
will not last for days, but for weeks and even years.
He tells us we are in the rain, we are in the soil,
we grow into trees and breathe life into the world.
Then he leaves.
It is knowing who Death is,
that scares us the most.
We know of Death's capabilities,
but we do not know when he will be capable.
The worst feeling is Death inviting someone you love
to Death's home and never returning.
We know who took them, we know where they are
but we cannot get them,
they are gone forever.
