Last Choice

If you live your life truly,
death walks close behind

There to whisper…
“Time is not on your side”

Your choice pending darkness,
to ignore or befriend

And embrace 
—or forever to deny

Absolutely, Kurt. death is not to be feared but be the effervescent reminder that time needs to be treasured. Well penned, Kurt.

Embracing death is probably the best way. Nicely penned Kurt.
