Joanna Daniel Poet Triolet

Death's Cold Hand

Struck by Death's cold hand, I stagger,
heartbreaking loss pulls me apart;
facing His sharp gruesome dagger,
struck by Death's cold hand, I stagger,
undone by His freezing swagger.
Steeped in darkness is my poor heart
struck by Death's cold hand. I stagger,
heartbreaking loss pulls me apart.
