what mystery lies
when life's end
draws ever near
and shade covers all
This is a poetry,prose,Haiku and writing site
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1916
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light!

A place we have not been to so far!! :) Nice musing but a bit sad!!
mystery sure it is.
shade covers all.. yup..
Asking a question and revealing clues all in the same words. Nice.
when whispered your poem is like
the last sweet breath.
Reminds me of a bit of Scripture: "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, KJV).
