Poem of the entity of Death |
The rain fell gently on the window And in she silently crept There to take another failing life While the person slept. She walked the dark halls patiently Her work soon to be done A soul would be within her grasp And then she could move on. But as Death strolled through the doors Towards her destination She crossed the path of a man That stirred a strange sensation. She soon realized what it was That she felt deep down inside And that was love for this man With whom she had locked eyes. Their eyes entrapped, and neither spoke An eternity seemed to shoot by And as images flowed through their heads They felt like they could fly. Thoughts of picnics in the park And long walks on the beach Of sunsets in each other’s arms Always within reach. She spoke to him of a simple task To finish before they go And then together they would be Forever, but he said no. He asked the task of which she spoke And she revealed to him That an infant’s life she was to take Then their future could begin. He begged her not to do her work To let the child be But a life she was required to take So he said “please take me.” She pleaded with him to reconsider And together they would live Forever in her world of death And immortality she would give. He declined her most gracious offer And so, in his grace He gave his life for a stranger’s child As tears ran down Death’s face. Even now, in quiet rooms As Death does draw near You can hear her always sadly weeping And feel her falling tears. |
