The day I met Death

He was nothing at all like his dark depictions

With compassionate eyes of purple and blue

A look that promised to removed all my afflictions

He took my hand into his and my calmness grew

I should have felt scared as we entered this place

With its dazzling skies on twisted lightning seas

But I felt a stillness, as I looked upon his immortal face

Such human features, but an inhuman ability to create ease

And just as gently and as swiftly as he did appear

He left, but not before whispering one last thing

We were destined to meet and now I leave you here

To live your life in the death that I did bring

Nothing is certain, but we all shall one day meet our death

And then he was gone, I was gone and so was my last breath
