The Riddle

The riddle without answer.

Life is like a riddle

Who's mystery cannot be solved

A question without answer

A lyric without song

It begins so loudly

With reaching for the light

Yet soon becomes soothing

Gaining peace through the night

Years go by,

And you think you've learned it all

But its still only the beginning

Just having learned how to crawl

Then the pace quickens,

And days begin to fly,

And before you have time to blink,

years have passed you by

Near the end of life,

As you draw your last breath,

You tell me words of wisdom

And seal it with your death

Death is like a riddle,

Who's mystery no man can solve

A question without answer

A quiet, somber song

I had to read this a few times, and the flow is just great to say the least.
"You tell me words of wisdom/And seal it with your death."
I'm particularly stuck on these two lines, I think it's quite genius. Very good read and great work!
