Scarlet sorrow

The black hand of death,
Strikes down to kill.
The last scarlet breath
Blankness, lingering sorrow,
Death, floating to earth like a silver feather,
The winged angels will sing no more tomorrow.

poem is short and fierce, like a passing stranger's glare....... but tell me why did I feel as I was reading it that I got sent to hell? ..... ( rhetorical question!) Thought provoking poem....... Thanks for sharing......... Sincerely, Melissa Lundeen.
