"Numquam finitur, donec vita finiatur."<br /> - K. D'Angelo Alexander


Darkness, an infinite void of naught

To escape, you would give all you have got

Wealth, power, love, and possession,

All irrelevant in the Final Intermission


You wait, forever it seems,

Wondering, Is this the Great Inbetween?

A lived well, could this be Hell?

You swallow your fears, but they do not quell


Think of your life, judge yourself

Recall the unopened Bible on your shelf

Oh, Lord, is there actually a god?

No one hears you as you sob


The voice, the one in the back of your head,

Reminds you:

You’re dead

Part I of "The Ballad of Life."

A sonnet about death.
