The Death Knell Sounds

A death knell that sounds
Reverberates
Throughout one's whole body
Shaking it
With its tone
Its Clang
Vibration
That rings into the very marrow
Of your soul
Unmistakable
You bow to it
Defeated

No more
No more
The cracked whispered cry
Calls out
I"ve run out of time
The hands have fallen
And the wind blows away from me

My time has passed
It runs away from me
Away
Away
Until even its memory fades
Within the dust that has fallen over it
In my mind

The Death Knell sounds
