Call of the Void

Embracing Death's kiss

Death’s Gaze - Pinterest

I sat with you for many years
Thinking you were pain
And only when
you disappeared

I realized 
Comprehended 
your fame

Without you I felt empty
      A shell 
With an echo of your call

As we sat 
long years ago
You shared with me
the story 

About my fall

And in the dark
I could not see
The majesty you'd unfold

But now I’ve grown
Many seeds were sown
You never left me cold

I met new friends
Named them pain and grief
Until my mind was blown

A gentle breeze
It made me blue

Yet within that breath
A familiar voice
Rang true

It was you?

There I stood
Full of disdain
Until I saw your name

Never did I think
That who you are
Is the reason 
For my gain

Within you lies my power
My strength
My flower

For the seeds that now grow
Were not planted 
In a void

Instead
They lie within the warmth
Of all 
That's destroyed

Now when you call
I no longer fear
Your gifts I receive eagerly

I hold them dear

May we meet again
Within that breath

I am pleased to call you
My dearest friend 
Death
