Death

Death's description.

         

           Death

 No family is left untouched

 No heart is left unshattered

 When he leaves his latest assignment

 Each soul is truly battered,

 

 He is hated by all

 And loved by none

 Though he knows what he does

 Does he know the damaged that's been done?

 He finds his next assignment

 And watches from a distance

 As the car rumbles by

 He moves to take his stance,

 The car suddenly swerves and veers

  Yes its him, its Death

 And with a finally turn, the car hits another

 And the people inside take their final breath

 He walks over and inspects it all grimly

 He notes the mother, the father, the child

 But before he leaves, and continues on

 He notices the forest, the animals, that wild,

 Although we cannot see him

 They, the creatures can

 And its all that they can do

 To stare at him and stand,

 He watches them with anger

 They cannot understand

 But their eyes are not find with anger

 But with pity for him, for him and man,

 For though we all must live together

 And deal with death and loss, animals and man

 Perhaps the greatest treasure of all

 Is to know that there is hope, to see them once again.

A deep subject for a first write. I am finding it hard to write since losing my husband. Perhaps in time. Valentine

Brilliant really loved it.
Speaking of death as a person, when I read this I think of the series Charmed, and that guy of death haha.
Its true though, we see death as evil, but everyone has a time where there time is up, no point in fighting it, or being mad at death, because if death where a man we all can't see he is just doing his job.
Great piece :)

I really needed this. It fits something very similar to what someone special to me is going through right now. I like the part you added about the animals, never thought of it like that.
