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
