Hey Death!

Hey Death!

When you come knocking at my door

And I am not ready just yet,

You don’t wait for me

                      To say my goodbyes                      

To give one last hug

To the people I love

 I wonder why?

Will you not be my friend?

Will you not hold me gently?

Will you not numb my pain?

And ease me into your arms?

Perhaps then I will

Embrace you with a smile

Before I manifest

In another place and time

Until you come

To take me again…

Hey Death!

When you come knocking at my door

And I am all ready for you,
You wait for me my friend
To leave and let go of
The people I love
I wonder why?

Why don’t they celebrate your homecoming?

With a smile and a joyful rejoicing?

Knowing that you are but my escort

                             To another place and time                             

Where I will manifest

As a part of the earth, sky, water or fire

That is within every one of us.

If only they can stop to see

How we Inter-are

Until you come

To meet me again...
