At Death Poem by Gerry Legister

Death came and lay down by my side
I tried to hide from his kiss of death,
But he held on to a soft place inside
And made me tremble with cloning breath.

I see the ominous foe waiting until dawn,
With cold claws come to take me home,
He wrapped his twisted arms around
my whole being, and I became heavy as stone.

Angels gathered daisies around the stars
Little fairies running into enlightening fields
Memories turn and call back to me with tears
Dripping scales shine with angelic shields.

Watchers wait until the break of day
Watching the close embrace before we go away.
