The Dead Poem by Mereia Namatua

There she lies
A picture of perfect peace and serenity
So innocent
Yet marred by the challenges of the world
That face of eternal rest
That breaks your heart inside
Yet part of you is relieved
To see her no longer in pain
Even though you will never see her again
That laughter
That smile
I guess I will have to wait for a lifetime
But if tomorrow’s will for me to see you
I will welcome it with open arms
Even though deep down inside I am afraid
Of the kiss of death that lingers
As it will come when it will come
It gives no warning
For if fate decides
There is no taking side
