despair

when even was is lost
and is no more exists
there's very very few
rise back up from the mist

when nothing stirs the soul
and life has left our heart
death beckons sweet release
so easy to depart

but know from one who's been
the fragile straw you grasp
is where we all must reach
before we breath our last

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

The second stanza refers to a state of mind of the living in despair and not to death.

The soul doesn't alter simply because we pass from this life to the next, we take all our joys and troubles with us.  Even though death seems the easy way out in numerous situations, my experience tells me it is far from it both for the individual and everybody who touches their life.
