Death comes upon us
Creeping like a transparent ghost
Waiting in the ecstasy of grief
To fill our hearts with despair
We never see it coming
No matter how prepared we think we are
We are all we have got
Fight the good fight
Beat the darkness back
Because it will swallow you whole

Salt the wounds, burn the nerves
I will never get you back
I fall to my knees
Hands covering my withered face
I should have saved you
Found some way
Passion to make things different
Fight the death in the night

Screaming to change things
Silent in confusion
Surrender to hope

Surrender

Death comes upon us
Creeping like a transparent ghost
Waiting in the ecstasy of grief
To fill our hearts with despair
We never see it coming
No matter how prepared we think we are
We are all we have got
Fight the good fight
Beat the darkness back
Because it will swallow you whole

Salt the wounds, burn the nerves
I will never get you back
I fall to my knees
Hands covering my withered face
I should have saved you
Found some way
Passion to make things different
Fight the death in the night

Screaming to change things
Silent in confusion
Surrender to hope

Damn, this was extremely emotive! I could feel the "wailing" inside this.
When emotion is this overwhelming, it is difficult to capture in words,
so bravo, poet. This was very well done.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
