Death Denied

Death came and found me, Wrapped his arms around me And lay down by my side. I come he said to take you home To a place where there is peace and love I turned away from his cloying breath And ran to hide from his kiss of death The request for my soul will be denied He'll lead me not into the night I want to climb mountains and sail the seas Go gather daisies and run in the fields Jump over moonbeams watch the stars at play And then await the dawn of day I see him not as an ominous foe There beside me come my time to go He'll hold me in a close embrace And take me to another place What lies beyond the great divide El Dante's inferno or eternal paradise The sun will rise the moon will appear And in their shadow I will disappear. I would like to return as a butterfly And flutter my wings all day~~~

Your poem is very well written Cecilia.
When one is young they think they will live forever
When they get older reality hits them.
Nice to think that there is a better place.

Nice poem Cecilia. Death is life's companion just a heartbeat a breath away. Having experienced a near death, I know how fragile yet beautiful life is.

I can see you are truly a diversified writer, you can switch easily from humor to spiritual, and spark ones imagination at the same time. I truly enjoy the story.
