Death Touching Me Poem by jim foulk
Death Touching Me
Death is so close,
yet so far away
looking around
i see life.
Closing my eyes
only seeing death,
no future i see,
only despair.
Death touching
my shoulder
so many times
in my life.
So much heartache
have i seen
death closing in
so near is it now.

For most people this is a taboo subject - mainly through fear I think - but coming fully to terms with it is important for the sake of living fully I believe. It's always there, perhaps just a breath away and the line between life and death is so slender. You make it real and bring it right into focus in these few short lines. Strong and honest writing. jim

Death touches all of us in so many ways. Very profound thinking, Jim. Warm regards, Sandra
