I lie beneath the flame this night, <br />I bow before my death, <br />He takes my hand, <br />And holds me close, <br />Death embraces me, <br />He says the time has come, <br />Beginning now meets end, <br />He says the fires taken me, <br />And now it's time to walk, <br />Walk the path of fates sweet song. <br /> <br />I lie beneath the flame this night, <br />I bow before my death, <br />The fires stripped me of my sins, <br />Humility my pride, <br />Now death guides me through the dark, <br />And speaks to me kind words, <br />'The pain has stopped, <br />It won't come back, <br />Your senses now are cleansed, <br />The soul has been washed clean', <br />He says the end is pleasure. <br /> <br />I lie beneath the flame this night, <br />I bow before my death, <br />Death's a man clothed in blue jeans, <br />A white shirt stained with blood, <br />Death holds a knife, <br />Death slits my throat, <br />Death is the end of my beginning. <br /> <br />I lie beneath the flame this night. <br /> <br />I bow before my death.<br /><br />Holly Heron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bow-before-my-death/
