I was inspired to write this after my English class read "Thanatopsis," which is a very good poem. This is my first original poem that I've posted, so PLEASE be nice!

DEATH
 
Through out the darkness
The sun sleeps heavily,
Nary glimpsing from
Behind his sea of insanity,
The moon hidden behind dark clouds,
No longer sparkling are the stars,
Swallowed by a blanket of dark.
Never before encountered have I
A darkness quite like this:
Silence, still and echoing.
No shape takes place in this black abyss,
No walls, no floors, just me;
A silent, shuddering scream.
A concave ceiling, crushing,
Falling, suffocating.
No breath can be found,
No lungs to fill by unfound air,
No memories to slip from my shroud,
Of encompassing darkness like a broken crown.
Through the shadows I creep,
Absent of life, but not asleep.
Death is of darkness, but never have I cried.
Why cry, when I know you will be the same as I?
A sudden pause, a knowing glance,
Of a white-haired wizard, and kings of past.
A question springs up, one for which I have no answer:
Is this truly Death, in which I have landed?
