Essence of death

Can you hear the whisper,
Of the dear departed's prayer?
When the sick are crying out for mercy,
Will you be waiting for them there?
When men wage bloody wars,
Can you walk ranks of either side?
When saints are on their death beds,
Do you hear their rightous lies?
Can you stand here in the now,
And gaze into the was and will?
Do you look upon a baby,
And see it cold and old and still?
When you hold someone with passion,
Do your lip extinguish the flame?
Can you live a thousand life times,
Yet have everyday the same?
Do you slip between the shadows?
Roam the worlds that lie between?
Have people look right through you,
And dismiss you as a dream?
Answer yes to all of this my love
And know that you are sane,
you walk the lonely valley,
Shinigami is thy name.
