Death

Death comes,
like a starved wolf in the savanna,
knock at thy door like a thief
and takes your breath away.

Death comes,
it comes like the Alzheimer's disease
Whispering through days and nights 
walking beside us on our life’s road.

I am not afraid of death,
I just don't want to be available when it comes.

Nice write Seth. I hope death takes it's time coming to my door as well.
