Thoughts on Death

Posted by meggan on November 17th, 2008 filed in Uncategorized

I was somebody’s baby once

as I lay dreaming my life as it has passed

standing on the corner, reality, 

my life is moving so fast

not time to even utter the word stop

 

death sits quietly in the corner

allowing me these few moments

why is death so taunting

Is death teasing me?

 

It creeps slowly upon me like a shadow

the stages of my life coming to a close

a few faces are evident to me, but I can’t 

tell them goodbye

I was somebody’s baby once

 

I lay helpless like an infant

death has come

death is done teasing me

it is within this last breath I take

that I realize time exists in more

than an intangible form, it exists in

death.
