Demise

does Death creep up

slowly with it’s cap

blowing behind it

tap it’s next victim

lightly on the shoulder

look within the soul

without fight slowly

life is gone

Or

does Death quickly

come upon an

unsuspected foe

snatching them

to unsuspected

place called demise

Either

way the living left

to grieve while celebrating

in the life of the

taken
