As the Days Tick Away

sleep,
so death,
do I beat thee
every night,
softly, without
a fight?

Death,
so sleep,
do I dream thee
every day,
softly, within
my plight?

God,
So Holy,
do I praise Thee
w' every breath,
Softly, with you
beyond m' own death?

Hello, Daniel, I am really surprised that I am the first one to comment on your poem. I'm new here but I also wrote a poem after my son died many years ago: "A Rainbow Glitters," so I was looking to see what others said about the subject. I like your poem, especially the ending. I love and praise God, too.
