A soul might extend

But the body is brittle

Life is but passing

Very cold comfort.

All thru dark nights and bright days.

She always follows.

("She" is Death and Death is a young, friendly women that was created by Neil Gaiman. The character appeared in the comic book series call "The Sandman". The Character Death also appeared in her own story that was titled "Death: The High Price of Living".) This is what she look like.

This is a link to the book.

Sands slip through the glass

Hours fade into minutes

Words blur with seconds.

The bringer of death,

Has a kindness about her,

Face of poetry.

Moonlight in her eyes.

A steady calm on her face.

Few moments give peace.

Thoughts speak no reason

And always lead to despair

Darkness has its way

Try happy endings

Even when they don’t apply

Hope might find a way

Falling forever,

Far down a pit of despair,

Away from the light.

Raindrops on lush leaves

Dark clouds loiter overhead

Absent is the sun

Wishing I am dead

Melody keeps repeating

A song in my head

If I were to fall

Hit the hard floor and scatter

The broken pieces

Into the sunlight

Climbing just a bit higher

To dream a new dream

Was caught in quicksand

As minutes dwindle to none

With gradual pace

A soul might extend

But the body is brittle

Life is but passing

With Death smiling

Filling up the bottom glass

And kept close at hand

Ameliorate

The state of my soul within

The shape of my heart

Whispers come at night

While dreams travel by day

She is close at hand

The moment slips by

For time will not wait for me

She always follows

Ever so nearby

I sense her watchful presence

In all that I do

Circling the end

Beliefs don’t aid any plans

When dark thoughts corrupt

Austere attitudes

Will pester my cheerful mood

When I am thinking

My thoughts betray me

As she whispers in my ear

One sweet delusion
