Visit from Death

That night I heard Death call my name
I open my eyes and saw him by my side
I hear your cries of pain, he said
"I see your tears of sorrow,
I am with you every night,
In the shadows by your bedside."

" am with you when joy died
I was there when you shout your anger into the night
So come with me my friend,
Into the darkness of the night,
Into the shadows,
Out of the light."

I took his hand and flew into the night
Till the hills and rivers were out of sight
He showed me what death was like
No joy or sorrow, laughter or tears
It's like floating in an eternal night
A place where peace resides.

I felt warmth on my face
And sat up in surprise
Feeling the dawn's first light
I can not believe what have just happen
I've got a visit from death last night.
Will he come again tonight?
