Death Will Always Win

“…could not stop for death- he kindly stopped for me- The carriage held just ourselves and immortality.” Quote by _ Emily Dickinson Death will never break a sweat For death will always win There is no oval track in life No round and round again Death will never break its stride Nor slow its timeless cadence Laughs as we scurry about For death has endless patience Death casts no shadows, rings no bells Serves neither heavens nor their hells It’s just Life’s valet parking guy Punching tickets as we pass by ©5/27/2023 Writing Challenge – C Quotes – Poetry Contest Constance La France - sponsor
