Stands Death There At My Door
By midnights voice
.
.
I felt the sudden change of air
As icy breath clung I was made aware
Outside my window the shadows fell
But it was too early for night to tell
Still it was cold and dark I know
Then came the knock upon the wooden door
"Thomas ! For whom I come looking for .
Won't you open up for Death your door ?"
I shook with fear for all the years
Suddenly I was filled with tears
And in absolution I held my head
Too late now to change my bed
Still you have no earthly clue
When comes that knock , sends chills through you
"Thomas , oh Thomas , if you could
Unbolt the lock now if you would."
I stood in silence , made not a sound
But by the shadow upon the ground
I knew he waited so patiently
Waiting ! Just waiting there for me
"Come Thomas , the seconds are few
You cannot avoid what's due for you
Do not bother looking for the key
For I have kept it safe and sound here with me"
I said I was not afraid of death
That I would not bend with my final breath
Then I remembered my father's passing
How the stillness became so everlasting
And I knew I was no more special
That life is certainly full , sometimes spacial
So I opened up the door
"I am Thomas , the Thomas of whom you do implore"

I always enjoy the rhyme in your writes. Mortality is something I struggle with. I'd like to think I'd be brave in that final moment. This was a good write. Write on.
