Come hither, small moonlight
within our attacker's sight.
Look into a night lagoon
the fall is coming soon.

They’re all dreading the dark
by missing songs of a voice.
Beautiful skin, turns to color of ash.
But in the end, killers bleed too.

Deep within Earth, bodies rot.
Murderers left them unmarked
but loved ones planted a stone.
Forgotten name engraved upon.

“Next?” the blackness will cry.
Inevitable that you shall die.
Shadows beckoning with
ghostly dancing, pale.

Storm pounces down
Rain, not a sound.

You can’t run
nor can you
hide...

The author's comments:
People see death in so many ways. Is it something to embrace, or something to fear? One thing is definite, death is impossible to resist.
