Have you ever seen up close a soul as death attacks?
Watching tense eyes swirl from HD color to black
A young pleading face as her stiff body goes slack
Have you ever seen up close a soul as death attacks?
..
The face loses pace in a race for the obscene
A day dreamer look pushes into the extreme
Rosy white cheeks turn into blue cool cream
Fallen down tears a sister asks what’s it mean?
..
Curious bystanders peer down on sacred ground
Finding it hard to make themselves turn around
Sneaking peek-a-boo’s on a trip without sound
Watching a soul escape the last breathe falls down
..
In a poised stare her dead air and sun comes undone
The heartbeat freezing, seizing all she’s become
Soon a family’s cold tears will turn her sun into rage
Yet still life always wins as death takes center stage
..
Trees and their branches fall onto winters ground
After the snow there are no green leaves to be found
New trees arise along with new fresh spring rains
Rinsing out shades of pain on grey winter days
