One never really thinks about death, but he is at are back door waiting so unexpectantly.



The Deceiver    


  


 


 


Once again he duth spurn


Upon the heavy laden limbs


A blanket of coldness


Covering the appendages of our time


 


He comes so unexpectedly


Teasing with his moods


Confusing the new born


Appearing never to let go


 


Once again we wait for his departure


Only to be laden with whiteness


To be slapped by needle like fingers


And be wrapped in his covers

Helen,

Death definitely is not bashful but as death takes so does He create. Very well written. With two deaths in the family within the past three weeks I've had many similar thoughts.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
