Death is lurking in the shadows,
Death can strike at any time and anywhere,
You cannot hide from death,
You cannot escape death,
Everyone meets death sooner or later,
Some visits are short and sweet,
While others are longer and full of torture and agony,
Your time is closing in, so why run?
And don't bother hiding,
Death will always find you,
Death is natural, so why try to avoid it?
Give in to the end,
It's your best choice.

WELCOME BV ~ Thanks for your first poem _ well written "free verse" poem in 13 lines ~ almost a SONNET ! Your line spacing is good and it gives the poem rhythm ~ BUT ~ It's the "Rhythm of Death" not the "Rhythm of Life" ! Gerontologists are now saying that 125 is about the max life expectancy ! My experience tells me that the most predictable experience we all face is Death and statistically at ANY AGE. I'm 33 so technically I am about ONE THIRD through my life ~ baring accidents. However I do believe in "Life after Death" so I'm putting my trust in GOD (JAHWEH ~ I'm a Christian) so I have no fear of physical death ~ OK. Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN Please check my Poems ~ Thanks B
I love the sense of urgency that you provide with short staccato phrases.
I like your poem. Some people try to avoid the subject but like you said, why try to avoid it?
