Deaths Carriage

I pull back the curtains And out I look There lay a carriage, oh yes, I’m certain Suddenly, I hear a knock at my door So the lock I unhook The door i open Standing there, a figure A creature of great lore Grinning, deceptively it hands me a paper and a pen It’s come for my soul I begin to figure “I’m not ready” I begin to plea Yet, from death there is no where to flee.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Atreyu, Of carriages & curtains, there used to be more..., when death knocks three times, there's only one door. Gypsy fable. -Richard
