Death came to me softly
In the darkest of nights
Across the nightingale floor
On wispy threads of slumber
He leans in upon my ear
Whispering gently to me:
“Release your fears little one
Let go of your inhibitions
For I shall hold you eternal
Keeping you safe and sheltered
No more heartache and sorrow
No more tears and loneliness
For I come to take you home
All that I ask from you is…
Give all of yourself to me”
“All of me…?” I ask, breathless
“Yes, all of you little one
For I only love you alone”
My eyes slowly flutter open
As patches of sunlight pierce through
I was no longer here…
I was finally home
