“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”


As I close my eyes in death
And draw through my lips a final breath,
I bid farewell to all held dear
And face at last, my final fear.

As I examine my life, as though through a pane,
I can’t help but wonder if I lived in vain.
Fleeting memories of the past;
I give a sigh, and rest at last.

Woe to he who lives a dead life. Carpe diem.
