I am always here, travelling the world,
Unseen, unknown but never far away.
I see it all; I am here just in case.
There are times when I am so busy,
But my speed is infinite,
So I am never late!
You all know me, but wish you didn’t.
I strike fear and sorrow into all;
And you wish I wasn’t here.
But here I am, hovering; waiting
For you, for everybody!
I have always been here,
Since time began, never changing;
Just waiting for you to come to me;
As you will in time!
DEATH, where is your sting?
I am right behind you!

- Comment from author about the poem: When I posted my poem "Death Has No Sting" yesterday I replied to Orchidees remark that I would put on a poem about Death that I wrote a few years ago and published on a now extinct website. I wrote this after reading the book and seeing the film "The Book Thief" where Death is the storyteller. My belief in life is represented in what I wrote yesterday.

A fine write Gold.
Meanwhile - 'He's behind you!' as in panto. 'Who is behind us?' Me, singing of course! heehee.
Thank you Orchi.
Which is worse - that 'Angel of Death' in the pic, or me singing?!
One of your best Andy - I love this piece.
So kind Michael, thank you very much.
Gold,
I just read your poem from yesterday. A fine write and you are so right! We’re on a journey that will take us into eternity! I admire your optimism! There’s nothing to be afraid of! As my dad would always say, “I’m here! Whenever you’re ready, I’m ready! I’m waiting and well prepared!” He died peacefully!
~Laura~
Thank you Laura, your Dad sounds like a fine man.
He was! We referred
to him as...
un Uomo D’ORO...
a Man of GOLD!
A excellent write Andy. But I think death has got it all wrong. God awaits us all.
Very true, that is what my other poem said, Our Spirit NEVER dies.
Amen to that!
Really good Goldfinch..... I've always been aware of death..... some people I know absolutely never think of it and that flabbergasts me..........Love "so I am never late"....... he's good at his job!
Thank you Lorna, I know that My Spirit will never die so the death of the earthly life never worries me.
Thank you Goldfinch60.
Super poem.
Keep writing

Thank you FineB.
MERCI ANDY ~ L'Angel du Mort est tousjours pret ! But just as there is a "time to be born" (1983 in my case !) there is also a "time to die !" My time has not yet come because I have written tomorrows POEM "HAEMOGLOBIN" but one day come it will ! However by "The Grace of GOD" I am spiritually ready for when it comes ! Yours BRIAN Love your header "Not drowning but waving !" B.
Dying is a myth as I know My Spirit will never die.
I love the pic and your poem brilliant so very true, your poem says it all you can not get away from him
Superb writing I love the grim reaper, well sort of 🙂
Thank you kitcat, the grim reaper may take my body but he will not take my, or your, Spirit which goes on towards infinity.
