Death Passed him by in Night

He heard the silent whisper in the night,

An unspoken message from death.

Listened in silence, to the silence of the night.

Wondering if it was a dream.

Or was it death calling?

Life was unconscious death;

In the realms of sleep,

Where everyone is in state of rest.

He heard a voice calling him

from afar.

the voice of life.

He felt himself floating in to

Consciousness.

From the world of unconscious death.

The whisper now a loud shout

faintly becoming an echo.

he opened his eyes to reality of life.

Death had touched him, passed him by,

In the silence of the night.

where everyone in the arms of

Death sleeps.
