Death Does Prevail

Surrounded by life
Death still prevails.
Center of all fear
All motivation for survival.
Like a black hole
In a midst of dancing
and bliss and color.
But sometimes the frustration,
disappointment and pain of life
Makes the inevitable seem so sweet.
Like an escape.
But like it or not
When death prevails
It's eternal.
Life lasts for an instant
So the most we can do
Is make it count for some of what it's worth.
And when death does prevail
We can take it as we find it.
Don't run from it, because it will only chase after you.
And prevailing death is no slow runner.
