Deathly

Funny how
things suddenly shut down
i open my eyes
and suddenly its over
a life gone
in a moment
one last breath
just 3 seconds
a page is blank
white
memories remain
the page is turned
a life gone
no ground
deathly...

...really.

Lovely poem and lovely quote by Pooja..Ok maybe "lovely" is not the right word :)..deathly..lovely..doesn't fit..
I guess these shut downs pretty much define life..its uncertainty, the entire idea of unpredictability..for I don't think anything happy if it were predictable..good work!
