DEATH

Alas! Death has arrived
As I lay on ground and die
It held a bouquet of periwinkle
As my life stopped at its spindle

It reached out my hand
A face of dark as it put his demand
Of my final words 
I said I wish to be a bird

It simple smiled
All that was to be denied
And it stood there and said," congrats, u have finished life."
all I spent was as someone's wife
Who knew I existed?
Who knew the dreams I dreamed of?

As I finally took its hand
I said, " Thank you, for coming soon as I leave this land."
