In the Silence

in the silence of the night when no one is awake the loneliness is deafening and the clock stands still at times like this we think death may come and take away the weak but we know better death is much sneakier stealth robbing cradles and many not ready merciless it decimates ruthless and unmerciful AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on January 11, 2019

Scary Sobering, the hard facts of life that I pray few of us feel.

You, Line, have a clear understanding of the sneakiness of death. "robbing cradles" - exactly, but no one likes to speak of that, so I am glad you knew it was needed in this wonderful poem.
