Requiem (The Death Mask)

Death, Darkness, and Despair.

The greatest fears of the world.

All three are all gifts of God.

Death: A new experience, a life long journey.

A love story told to no one.

A peaceful song no bard could sing.

The final judgment of good and evil.

The peace in every dream,

But the nightmare of every waking moment.

Darkness: An old memory, a journey long past.

A memory long ago but never forgotten.

A story of loneliness that everyone shares.

The test of faith to separate man from monster.

The lesson of every day,

But the fear in every heart.

Despair: A reoccurring dream, the road not taken.

A dream without ending, but with new beginnings.

A dawning of a new day, beginning at night.

The test of friendship, whether true or non-existent.

The hope of a peaceful ending,

But the fear of a new beginning.

We all hold a death mask deep in our hearts!
