Death's Embrace

A poem

Death's Embrace

Death perceived so bright aglow

In your grasp your hold so tight

Round and round the wheel I go.

~~~

Stars aligned the sky so bold

Circling around me in florescent light

Death perceived so bright aglow.

~~~

Cascading dreams, strong hearts do hold

But death knows no height

Round and round the wheel I go.

~~~

Twilight spirals of golden lace untold

Integrating pain filled love in his site

Death perceived so bright aglow.

~~~

When the Reaper calls it's time to fold

Beauty fully surrounds his fright

Round and round the wheel I go.

~~~

Creation follows as new forms do mold

A cycle through which I find my might.

Death perceived so bright aglow

Round and round the wheel I go.
