    Sound Of Death


    Sound Of Death

    Sweet sound of death
    Hear my battle cry
    I go not quietly
    Into your dark embrace
    With loves music to warm me
    The breath of life is mine to share
    I will battle with every ounce
    That I have to spare

    I watched my love fight you every night
    Nothing I could do was right
    Laying wasted away in the bed
    Yet he was still the man I loved
    I waited until he could take no more
    He was fighting because he worried for me
    I sat at his side,whispered in his ear
    It is okay my darling love

    You earned your rest,you did your best
    Do not hold on to pain for me
    Your spirit is free to fly home
    Though in a coma,I saw a tear fall
    And for just a moment
    I saw my love shining back at me
    He had heard my words
    No one can ever tell me otherwise

    I sat with him for eight hours
    Still he hung on to life's sweet embrace
    Being exhausted and heart sick
    I took my leave to get some rest
    As I walked in the door
    The phone was ringing
    I knew,before I answered it
    Ten minutes after I had left

    He had simply and quietly,died
    No plugs had been pulled
    He had spared me that decision
    That was the kind of man he was
    Even in his final moments
    It's as if he was thinking of me
    Our love and our time together and
    Decided it was time to set me free

    This brought me to tears,

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
