"Finding Death"
by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.
I
The hour glass stood in the corner
forgotten , save for now
The little grains keep on falling
and they looked sad somehow...
II
It won't be long now she knew
Come to me , come to me
In her heart she called his name
Release me , Release me...
III
Now Death stands looking at her
patiently waiting for her time to come
she looks back at him
her heart beating like a tired drum.
IV
The last grain falls
and time stops in an instant
she takes her last breathe
and now her pain feels so distant
V
Death stood by her now
Carrying her away from this once pain-wracked body
No one ever seemed happy to see Death
She was however pleased that he was there.
