When the dust settles

When the dust settles.

As the epilogue of life approaches,

soon...........

you will join

the arena of shadows;

past faces known,

some forgotten,

awaits you.

This got me alittle scared and sad...shadows...and forgetting faces you once knew...death scares me..leaving the world behind but i believe in eternal life too... great piece

Yes me too, so many people, famous have died of late, only to become forgotten in the coming years, just like us one day!, Thank you Mary!

the afterlife, the in-between time...as we live in the shadows and visit with all those faces...

and that last act before the curtain falls...we hope those faces are friendly, that we earned a few smiles as they pass.

Thank you for your words J

Most will fall to dust with little to know after a very few short years. Forgotten as you say. Well done.

So true Willard and some will linger on through their works like David Bowie's music.

Other than the lack of control in writing, I feel a writers legacy may extend a couple of extra days by his words. In fact, the words may live on for centuries and someday the label will be anonymous.

What a thought to ponder! A thought in time travel!
