Today I met the grim reaper. He showed me what death was really like. He told me not to be afraid that there wasn’t a bright scary light. He started to tell me about my friends – the loved ones I would meet when I went. I wanted to go. I wanted to see them. This earth wasn’t worth it anyway. But, he grabbed my hand and stared into my eyes. He said, “Dear girl, it is not your time. Do not be ready to go for I am not ready to take you. I’ll come back for you.”

Moonlit empty coffins

Finally walk away with the stars

Peace settles at last
