Letter From the Dead

Dear living one,

Days ago

I was like you

Full of life and kicking…

But…it all ended…

The angel looked at me

You are next

He said…

My heart skipped a beat

It went into a frenzy

Beating drums and sounds

Never heard of in life…

I was numb

I went deaf

My sight began failing…

I was dying…

Leaving the world behind.

He said to me relax!

Your destination is nigh

I never saw a thing

And then I went blind

Life snuffed out of me

And I’m dead…

When you read this

Pray for me

As I do for you…

We all need it

For one day

The inevitable becomes inevitable…
