Death and the Maiden

yea, totally an original concept I know. Hah.

Though hear me out, this is a common theme from art, death, the grim reaper, the end of all and the knowledge of such paired with a young woman, peak of life, fetility and innocence. Contrasts, something about that strikes a chord with some people and has for a while. And me, I love odd couples.

However I may love odd couples but I had to tweak a few thigns, Death may be powerful and knowledge and the end of all but Life has some knowledges that Death doesn't. The brief glimpses of flowers and feel of warmth and things like touch and feeling a heart beat.

Anywyas weird sleep deprived rambles aside here is my version of death and the maiden, the maiden trying to show death soemthing he could never understand, a heart beat.
