A thought on death

DEATH

1

A place of rest

A place of peace

No thoughts or senses

No feelings or suffering

Just a hidden place

Where ones soul stays kept

The sun, the moon

The stars and the clouds

Produce thunder and rain

All the while the soul lay peaceful

Until a day when the world becomes perfect

The soul shall wake when the Heavens do open

And sprinkle upon us a new life that is humanly perfect

 

 

DEATH

2

I have held death in my hands.

I have touched death before it was knocking,

Before it took its next victim

I talked to death before it knew I was there

I hated it … I hated it up to the very end

Death takes what it wants

Leaving behind lingering side effects

Death hurts all around without prejudices

Wrapping its hands and choking our hearts

Only to loosen the grip and tighten again

Death makes you angry

Anger of the loneliest kind

You beg and plead

Please take me too

But death refuses to listen

Until a day you least expect it

Death takes its toll

For once it listened
