Literature Text

She's lying in the grass.
Watching your time pass.
Through your hour glass.

She whispers of your burdens,
And watches the world turning,
As she has always done

She wears black lace,
With a shapless face.
She walks with grace,
As your lifeline is traced.

She holds no qualms,
And drops no bombs

She is the persona
Nobody wanted
But, everybody flaunts

She walks this land
Sifting through lifes sand
In her pale hand

And she comes for you
When your life loses it's hue
But she does not haunt you

She holds you close
And calms your worries
Because there is no hurry

She is a lonely lady
whose only duty
Is make your life burdens
Dissappear
This poem has two inspiration

1. A conversation i had with *Sighter
2. Neil Gaiman's Sandman's character of Death

This is my actual thought on what death is, it isn't a dark specter with a scythe it is a lovely lady with a shapless face(the shape you make up when your dying and you see her) who takes your burdens away in her touch
