Death Awaits
Folder:
2002 Poetry Death looms in the shadows
waiting to take us away.
It's there from birth
looking for its opportunity.
Every move we make
is a chance for our end.
Only by shear luck
we avoid our final breath.
It lurks and twists
attempting to find a way
to grab us and flee
to its dark lair.
We never realize
how close it really is.
Waiting impatiently
to do its deed.
If lucky it's avoided
'til we're old and gray.
But for some of us
it's early we have to pay.
