Death
follows me closely
while life
retreats into shadows
shunning
gnarled fingers
of winters handMy heart
palpitates a lonesome songA ponderance of youth
yearning days of oldWhere children play
in bright summer fields
and laughter
is caught
in the bubbles they blew
lifted with the wind
bursting of sunshine and giggles
covering the land in smilesAnd as the scent of moms apple pie
sent children scurrying home...I can feel death's chill
twitting my memories
mockingly reminding me...
that my home
is with him nowAnd as my eyes
fell silent
and my heart
cease to beat
into
the
shadow
i
descend
