The concept of death has captivated our imaginations since the beginning of human society. It has formed cultures, defined religions, shaped the course of history. Write about death. It can be lighthearted, humorous, hopeful, respectful, dreading, mournful, optimistic--you can paint it in any light you would like. Any style and format- poetry, prose, story, fiction, nonfiction, etc.

Drawn Onward

She reached a hand to touch him

“No”, she cried, and “Why”

He simply said, “Drawn onward”

Gazing to the sky

He came to her at twilight

Rifle in his hand

“Drawn onward” in his loved voice

Not what they had planned

She knew he couldn't be there

Though he wished to stay

From far, he sent “Drawn onward”

And faded soft away.

I am 21 years or older.
