Soft Departure

SOFT DEPARTURE I can be so gentle I can be so soothing When I come to help. I am not intrusive or malicious I am here with love and kindness I am mysterious. However it does happen that I am deceitfully used That is why I am feared. Evil people have used me for vengeance Or used me to threaten others for gain I have also been used as an excuse to rule. I am the right hand of God I help him to bring back into the fold lost souls. You cannot come to me But I will call for you when the time is right. I make your transition so easy, so banal That you realise how stupid you were To have been frightened of me. I am not ugly. I do not hurt. I am Death. When I come, you will find peace I will shield you from The chaos of life I will put an end to your physical pain And I will let you rest undisturbed for Eternity. 5th October 2013

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
