'The Face of Death'
By WindDancer J
“The Face of Death” Speak, and I will heed your words, Approach, and I will embrace you. I surrender to you my life essence For you are the Face of Death. Bringing comfort when my time comes. I will not attempt to cheat death, It’s no use to even make the effort. If I decide to run away and hide, My pain becomes increasingly arduous, And you will locate and capture me. So I remain and await my fate with anticipation, As only I must do without fear. For you are the Face of Death approaching, To deliver me to my new place. A place with a warm loving light and no pain. A breeze whisper, tells me you’re near. I hold my breathe and count down to my end. The Face of Death reveals itself to me, But with a kiss, he passes me by and bids me farewell. On this night I am spared my life’s termination.
