Death
v
" The distance traveled, the lifetime spent
hurried times unraveled without lament "...Poet
As each sun sets I'm a day closer to death
I find these days are a more precious breath
The darkness that waits I will not fear
life will depart it will not persevere
Nothing to nothing with life in between
before and after I will sleep unseen
Tears will fall and then they will fade
along with my tombstone, it will degrade
death will remain a master of change
it comes when it wants to rearrange
Blackness will come without any sorrow
and steal my life from seeing tomorrow
More than a thought, less than a dream
death is forever it will end my life's gleam
