Sometimes
death can arrive when you least expect it
and you look upon it as
an imposible moment
that shouldn’t be there
yet there it is
waiting for you
to show you
what it looks like
And it looks like,
life
You hear, feel
your heart beat
as the rain once did
Silence
is the other witness,
the silence of the dark, cold, moment
And it feels like,
life
Time moves on
leaving you in its wake
as sounds, feelings … heartbeats
race the rapids
until
you ride the fall
And it feels like,
life
For here is death’s whisper
stinging your ears
blocking your vision
stealing your oxygen
killing you
And it feels like,
life
A Gap In The Clouds
