Death Has No Door
When my dad died I wrote this poem 1988

Death Has No Door
Death came silent yet full of noise
Unseen by all in view
Sly like a fox, yet silent like a bird in flight
Its grip took hold tighter than tight.
Is there really no escape from the word DEATH?
Like tree roots it grows stronger killing each breath
Death destroys all families it is caring for none
Happy one moment here, next life is gone
No thought of sadness for ones left behind
Death has no eyes yet it can see all, it is not blind
No smell no feel no body no touch
I fear you death, I fear you so much
You take away life but take to where
No mercy shown by you, death has no care
You do not bribe you simply take
You have no sleep yet you're not awake
What is Deaths colour? Black so dark Or green?
like the grass growing in the park
What are you death? No start no end
Are you life's enemy or a tired soul's friend?
How deep is death how shallow how wide?
You're like a ghost sat by all that lives side
Dam you death for you have no friends
A never ending circle, no beginning no ends
I spit your name out, I ban you from thought
For the moment I am free, till by you am caught
What are you death I need to know?
Silent hush or noise dark with no glow
You come to all that live then life stands still
Leaving a gap nothing can begin to fill
Death a hate you're very meaning and name
Death you take leaving nothing the same
I want my dad back please, you don5 answer me.
Again I ask bring my dad back to me.
Here’s your note with corrected spelling and grammar:
Note I sat with my dad all night before he died. I was so frightened. I loved my dad, George Hurst, more than anything. He was my best friend. As morning came, I left to go home and try to sleep. My niece took over sitting with him. I got on my bed and closed my eyes. Still awake, I heard him say, clear as day, “I am going now, love.” “Okay, Dad,” I said. He replied, “I love you.” I said, “I love you too, Dad.” Within a few moments, the phone rang. My daughter, Joanne, picked it up. She called to me, “Mum, the hospital wants to talk to you.” I was calm. I said, “It’s okay, tell them I know he died at 10:20 a.m.” The nurse confirmed it. In the darkest days afterward, I wrote this poem. Rest in peace, Dad. I still miss you, cry for you, and talk to your photo. Love you, Dad. ❤️🌹❤️
