Poem
A cold dark night, whispers muttered, I fought for light, and then I uttered, "Awake me from this nightmare, a black haunting I CANNOT BARE!" opened my eyes jumped out of my bed, caught my breath, and nodded my head, only a dream, then I said. There need not be another that night so I stayed awake in fright, in fright of that dream, that unbearable thought. Then as I laid, eyes heavy and weary, so did I fade, into midnight dreary. When suddenly I felt a presence of pain a presence of evil, fear, and vain. Onto the floor then came a drift, and with it fog and ice did sift. "WHO GOES THERE!" I shouted, to which I doubted my feeble legs as I stood to the floor. "It is I, Death." Confused and confounded, I looked into the dark that surrounded, and quite astounded I saw a monster appear and to much of my dismay, its finger pointed my way. "What do you want?" said I in fear "You." said monster, coming near. "But so young am I" i did reply "Its an awful mistake, for you my life to take." "Its no mistake, these I don't make." the creature did quake, With wings of bone, scythe in one hand, he brought fear across the land and still stood his finger, still at me it linger. "NO!" I screamed and tried to flee, but move now I couldn't so quickly, for to my dismay these legs did stay, a thousand pounds they did weigh. "PLEASE, I BEG YOU, DO IMPLORE, I AM SO YOUNG AND LIFE I ADORE, YOU CANNOT TAKE ME, I NEED NOT GO, PLEASE TELL ME WHY, THIS I MUST KNOW!" So softly said death, in a single breath, "No purpose is there, for death is not fair." "You could be so young, but I do not care." "And now you must bare what all will bare, Death's cold stare." "But be not frightened, for with peace will you be enlightened. No more pain or sorrow, this all I must borrow, until the morrow when all is no more." His words like razors, cut through my heart and with it peace, began to start. For apart from the fear, the unsettled surprise it dawned to me Death, had opened my eyes. For life blistered my soul with a sore that death would heal with its "No More" "Ok" I said "Take life's pain from my head" "Bring me peace, among the dead!" And so quickly he came, and so quickly I went and brought it no shame, and told it no hint and with it he did, just as i was told suddenly no pain, NO FEAR, NONE BEHOLD! this all he did borrow until the morrow, when all is no more and of it all i did hear, was just a faint hiss then into the nothingness of abyss did my peace come, with Death's Kiss.
