Behold, A Pale Horse
("Anime", 2019, original encaustic)
Behold, A Pale Horse
Death comes quietly
Inexorably in the light
It has always been like that
And always will
Waiting with more patience than can be known
Lurking at the edge of sight
Flitting in and out
Sometimes consoling, sometimes not
And in its own way
My oldest and truest friend
Certainly outlasting the rest
Waiting ever patient
For one more kiss
And last embrace
Whispering to me,
I will wait for you dude
Until the time is right
And then carry you away
With honors.
