DEATH!  YOU CAME WHEN LEAST EXPECTED
AND BROKE THE SPELL.
LIFE’S ILLUSION SHATTERED,
THROWN TO THE FLOOR.
ABANDONNED.
THE SHELL OF ONE WHO LOVED,
NOW PACING AIMLESSLY
DISTRAUGHT AND CONFUSED.
OH DEATH!  GIVE ME BACK THAT LIFE!
THERE WAS NO WARNING
AND I AM HERE SPEECHLESS
IN MOURNING.
WHERE IS THAT BEING MY HEART BLEEDS FOR,
MY LIFE YEARNS FOR,
AND EMPTINESS PERVADES?
AH, HOPE!  KNOCKING NOW AT MY SOUL’S DOOR.
I WELCOME YOU.
COME EAT AT MY TABLE.
NEW LIFE WITH RADIANCE SHINE.
WAIT FOR ME,  LOVE -
YOUR MEMORY IS LOCKED FOREVER
IN MY HEART AND IN MY SOUL.
