Life is a mere shadow of death.
And death, a shadow of life either
unlived or after death that comes.
It is in this life that we
finally are at peace with ourselves
as well as in death.
Life is often taken for granted
if its every importance
is not seen by we humans.
Life's shadow follows us to our death.
And death's shadow follows us to the afterlife
which we can never know in our current lifetime.
So never fear neither the life unlived
nor the death yet to come.
For within their shadows
may you find what you seek
and be at peace.
