Death Is Peace

Death brings peace to depressed souls
Like steam from a bowl
Soothing a stuffy nose
On a cold winter night
When ??re tired of a fight

Death brings clarity to confused minds
Like stars in a sky
Twinkling in an eye
Of those looking for a peace
In a world so mean

Death erases thoughts
Of a dream fought
Etched in a heart
Burning in desire
Wilted by life fire

Resting in peace beneath the earth as the life that caused our existence goes back to heaven from whence it came ending the pain and suffering consuming our very soul Login to Reply
