Oh, DEATH, you have visited my beloved and I have HATED your final grasp. I have stood silently at a bedside holding a hand, waiting for death, Are you an angel, I was asked, yes I whisper, and then the final breath. In dreams, dear departed drift, dip, disturbing dust of distant doors. _______________________ December 17, 2015 Anagram, Couplet, Alliteration For the contest, 4 lines, sponsor, Silent One Second Place
