Death Blue

I saw him coming, my old friend Death His eyes were not wrathful but also not Kind He simply looked up at the sky so Blue Asked me if I was doing quite Well I told him I wasn’t ready to be Dead He said to be calm and step onto the Ship I stepped onto the dock of a large white Ship Behind following closely was the figure of Death I asked if this was a ship for the Dead He told me this vessel was a different Kind One humanity knew all too Well And I should watch the great expanse of Blue We sailed out further enveloped in Blue Was it ocean or sky? I couldn’t tell from the Ship The size seemed to fluctuate from sea to Well I tried to get some clarity from Death But he simply said watch, his eyes now Kind It was time for the flashback given to the Dead Funny, he told me I wasn’t Dead Made this seem like a joyride in the Blue I guess he was trying to be Kind Luring me with lies onto this Ship But I guess I saw through Death I know him all too Well I know he only means Well I knew deep down I was headed for Dead I focused my attention back to the face of Death He told me once more to look into the Blue I watched my life pass from the dock of the Ship I took solace in knowing at least I was Kind I watched my memories, of every Kind I think in life I had done Well I was ready to leave the Ship I was ready to join the Dead I was ready to dive into the Blue I was ready to embrace Death Death sent me off with a smile quite kind With a well-executed jump, I abandoned Ship And joined the dead in the peaceful Blue
