DEATH



The hour was now
The time was day
Your thoughts eternity
And Death -
Just a moment
Leaving no time for
Philosophies
Prayers
Goodbyes

 The players move on...

For them
The hour is still now
The time is still day
Their thoughts eternity.

 A drop evaporated the ocean
Some ripples,
and then none.
