Death

He stays and lurks within the dark waiting.
Though every once in a while he comes out and causes pain.
As though only to help.
Then he comes out again only to cause pain.
They say he makes you see black and become ice cold.
But I say that he comes to save you from the pain.
He comes to knock on your door more then once
But only once is he answeard.
After you open the door he comes right on in
to Wisk you right away.
He tries to confer you in your pain and takes you away.
While leaving loved ones behind.
Some he takes are old that he takes proud
but the young ones he takes in sorrow.
He takes all who suffer.
So don’t blame him for your pain only remember he took them from their pain to a place where there is none.

Good theory though I fear sometimes he takes people who don't want to go and aren't suffering!!  Anyways, good work  

 I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

Death has so many faces.  Death can be merciful and kind but he can also be cold and cruel.  How we deal with him depends on what he shows us.  

The contradiction between the implication of darkness in the title and the hope in the body of the poem is great.  I was pleasantly surprised.

The poem is excellent,
Although I may think differently,
but not all together.
anyway, a great idea of a poem.
Thanks for the thought.

Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
