Death Song-Cry of a Cougar

Death song cry of a cougar

I have seen death as a strange friend
Death has shown me that life does not end
But what I see is meant for me to prepare myself when I leave this life eternally
I have once laughed at death
And cried tears of blood
Yet i am still called to battle
Wallowing in its self destruction while it sticks to me like mud
I have heard deaths rattle
I have yet to run-stand shell shocked like a glorified dud
I now know not to laugh at death 
but laugh if and when I catch up to my own breath
I have been lost stumbling in an unknown dark
I crawled out of the dark grown guided by a mere spark
I caught a glimpse of a peaceful world that lies far beyond our mark
I cried humble tears of joy and laughed with the innocence of a child
I met a sweet angel who answered all my questions with only a mysterious sweet small smile
I will sing my death song with sweet tears of joy in my eyes
I will laugh fruitfully because it grows inside me despite any demise
 I am at peace with my death so whats left?
Oh yeah I almost forgot I got to live first before I take my last breath
Hahahaha  -Laughing Cougar
