Leonardo's Poetry Book


Death Surrounds

.

Death surrounds me in a suffocating grasp

A dark veil covering sound and sight

Buried alive in a dirt covered coffin

No chance to escape; no chance to fight

.

Trapped in a roaring sea of ever changing waters

Where breath be more precious than the finest gem or metal

But neither bought and neither traded; hope fades quick

The world will fade out; the dust to slowly settle

.

Speeding sights and hidden noise

Ground approaching fast; or I to it

Dread a living conscious thing

At impact I am sure to hit

.

In this life we live and live

Death as sure as rising sun

Of myself my hope I give

To each and all, I am but one
