Today, a few moments ago, I witnessed Death of a being.
I saw the entire thing happen. It was fast. The voiceless mouth moving, yearning for the sound of the living, only silence was there.
The eyes, half closed when the heart gave out, no longer running in a race. Perhaps at peace.
The warmth leaving the body and embracing cold. No more, one of the living but a stiff stone.
"This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper" - Hollow Men, T.S. Eliot
Sobering, yes.
