Too Late...

Darkness gathered Light was gone There was no peaceful slumber She awakened her last dawn Darkness all around her... Darkness safe and warm... Darkness will surround her... Darkness without harm... From above the star swept skies She called to him from beyond To come kiss her and share her last breath By morning she would be gone Darkness all around her... Darkness safe and warm... Darkness will surround her... Darkness without harm... He entered her room gracefully The moonlight she loved fell across her face And as she lies...he gently cries Standing silently in place Darkness all around her... Darkness safe and warm... Darkness will surround her... Darkness without harm... Life is a gift some choose If ever we have a choice Time is a thing we use Thinking we have a voice Darkness all around her... Darkness safe and warm... Darkness will surround her... Darkness without harm... Death is a fate some shun Still it comes to every man The three are really one The start...the finish...the span Darkness all around her... Darkness safe and warm... Darkness will surround her... Darkness without harm... Death is a table spread For no mans appetite Unlit candles shed Darkness instead of light Darkness all around her... Darkness safe and warm... Darkness will surround her... Darkness without harm... Death is the end of this story He curses this nameless force Death placed his precious angel To rot beneath the earth.............
