Death As Savior

"Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; " Edna St. Vincent Millay That which used to tiptoe is now stomping! Cleverly disguised, it strides purposefully proclaiming propoganda as it tramples our liberties. Good people everywhere – don’t despair, for Death shall deliver you . . . from madness. May 21, 2020 For the Etheree Poetry Contest Sponsor: Dear Heart

That which we have feared all our lives may in fact be there to deliver us. When the soul is prepared for what comes after, it can live in peace. Well done, and best wishes in Dear Heart's contest, Andrea.
