Round 11: personal mythology - the land of the dead
Source: Personal mythology
Subject: The land of the dead
Title: the scarab and the crow
It is one of the great divisions of the universe -- the light and the dark, the earth and the sky, the living and the dead. All that lives is dying, and all that dies is dead forever. Or is it?
The Land of the Dead is a cold and shaded place, bounded by rivers and wrapped in the depths of the earth. Souls arrive on the wings of birds or the flowing grief of a loved one. They gather in the shadows and prepare for the final choice -- whether to move further into silence, or back to the light.
(the only comfort is the moving of the river)
