Death's Call

I hear them,
But although now
They are a mist
Soon they will be clear.

A whisper,
Into my ear,
Into my brain,
Calling.

Calling,
To the Underworld.
Calling,
To my death.

Death's Voice,
Its loud command
To make me follow
Its steps.

Down
The stairs.
Across
The river's width.

To my final resting place,
My new home,
A better place
Compared to the old.
