Death watches us all.
At our birth, death lies beyond sight
and is merely informed of our existence.
But as time progresses, death plods forth
from beyond the horizon to the fog’s end.
At that point, death watches,
looming in the distance,
standing, dark as night.
For _the unfortunates_ death comes early.
For _the over-extenders_ death waits patiently.
But for all, death comes.
We near death; death nears us,
counting down our every breath
until the last.
