If Death Were An Object

If death were an object like a ball would it roll to the highest point and create evil destruction. Or if it were a metal disk that could raise itself to the bitter ends of it's final destination. Death can appear in many different forms. Death could be like a song that lingers with beautiful melodies. Death could be a portrait with many faces and poses. Death can wait or death can watch. It might squeeze the life out of every precious opening until there is nothing but a hint of despair. But a sweet song of death can only wait and be subtle and ease into your surrounding and gently choose you to become the object in which it must collect.
