Directions

Up and down,
Left and right.
No matter how far you drown, 
you cling for the light.
We pray for the day,
when all our troubles end.
Little do we realise that upon that day, 
death is just around the bend.
Life is but a mystery, Full of twists and turns.
But the only things we seem to see, 
are those moments that leave the deepest burns.
Ah but even as a flowers petals must fall, 
we too must need death's call.
But was it worth it?
Was your life fair for the fatal hit?
But alas it's too late to cry.
Much like life, 
we always miss the most crucial points.
Failing to see the signs before us.
