Death Shadows
~*Marge Tindal*~

        When death shadows
    circle one of my knowing
            I cry out ... go away !
    You are not welcomed here
    I may not be strong enough to stop you
                           but I will fight you tooth and nail
                           before another friend you impale
       'angel' of death ?
        you are no 'angel'
                go away
                for you bind the sorrow to you
                in grasp of insatiable greed
       go away
    go away
         we have not the need
        of your mercenary act
       disguised as care
    go away
   go away
          we do not want you here

... and you MUST listen to Marge for she absolutely rules the land of Tindal!
Can I say a prayer for you, dear?

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

We would fight it, yes,
but some acknowledge the need
of the cycle of life,
perhaps not by scythe or sickle,
especially to the young,
still...

we would ward if off, if we could,
if for no other reason
than the pain it leaves behind.

Thank you, Marge.

sometimes, tho, death is a white feather...

and oh my but my friend has your spirit too--all machinery removed as of noon yesterday, and she is still going. It's 3 to 6 breaths an hour, on one lung, but this lady is one of those ladies who is accustomed to a good fight--one of our steel magnolias.

A kindred spirit, indeed, eh?

Thanks for this.

You are so right....death is an angel, like a tiger is a bluebird. Sometimes you simply say what others simply....miss.

'angel' of death ?
you are no 'angel'

I know..have often wondered what kind of 'angel' would be of death, m'self...!

I know of this feeling....you wrote it well...

hugs, g
