Death Awaits

Death awaits you

He's by your side

No reason to run

Enjoy the ride,

Wherever he takes you

Don't make plans

You won't be there

Long enough to stand,

Some places are good

Some are bad

Just like you lived

Present and past,

It's a flight we will all take

But heaven forbid

I'm on your plane.

i do not fear death, we have met before...twice, as a matter of fact. as one who has been brought back from the "flatline" on two occasions i can honestly tell you that there is something beyond this realm. i have seen it. i have heard the voices of those souls already passed on and i have witnessed that bright light.....nice reminder of our mortality. well written.....

I take it this is written in the devil's voice...

'But heaven forbid I'm on your plane'

Or you literally meant plane..nice flight either way. Kudos.

This reminds me of Emily Dickinson's poem, "Because I Could Not Stop for Death."

[Tarry Franck]

Wow - thank you for the wonderful compliment :)

Well done...Death is a part of life, though people don't like to address it..

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you and hopefully everybody understands I'm not literally talking about a physical plane in the last line.

[Renée]
