Death

I saw you rustle through the trees Heard your mournful sigh on the breeze. I knew somehow you were out there Knew you would find me somewhere. I thought I saw you shuffling past the gate Maybe contemplating my future fate. Your footprint in my flower bed In some would cause a certain dread. I heard you wheezing at the door Glimpsed your shadow on the floor. I know that you will find me someday Slip through a crack and take me away. I know I can run but I cannot hide For time is always on your side. So when you come for me you'll find That somehow you were always on my mind.
