To Death

To Death… A toast in tainted wine Let glasses ring its somber chime As shadows cast its name in black To Death we walk… with no path back To Death… whose fame has spanned the ages Only love has penned more pages Only time outlives its quill To Death … To Death ‘till all is still To Death… and to its secret kept While all that live have stood and wept To Death… and to its final kiss I give a life… that I shall miss

Not so fast, Jane! while we have one breath left, miracles can occur. Can we give one breath to a oerson just taken by Death? So dont give IT too much credit. In John 11, Jesus resurrected a man dead for 4 days (Lazarus), & Jesus defeated Death when He rose from the tomb. I just like your poem, but had to say my say, too. shalom / blessings
