Jean Marble Poet Rhyme

Sleep Eternal

Count your blessing pallid sleeper
                          dreams disguise the sickle's edge.
                          Delve into your whims much deeper
                          and you'll miss the steely wedge.

                          Choose your soul's eternal keeper
                          hide you're sins from Holy wraiths.
                          Pay no heed to midnight creepers,
                          wrap yourself tight in your faith.

                          Stain no pillows with your weeping,
                          make no deals with shadowed hands.
                          Face the Fates that have been keeping
                          track of weakling, mortal strands.

                          Waste no precious moments seeking
                          what you had no time to do.
                          Prove you're courage without speaking
                          when the Reaper comes for you.


                          Beg no mercy from the sallow,
                          plead no case before his bone;
                          purpose deems his soul be hallowed
                          as it deems you die alone.
