Ths One Named Death

Death, who is Death?

For most she is pain and suffering,

cruel and merciless.

But when I beheld her....

When I beheld Death,

I couldn’t believe that someone so beautiful

could be full of cruelly and misery.

To me she was like the silence

on a wintry night

and my only wish

to rest with her at the end of my time,

to find peace and silence eternal.

To me she seemed like

a promise of peace eternal.

Death asked me what is my desire

I replied "To be in your cold embrace

in eternal silence.”
