She Comes to Life

She would be the most beautiful Death

Resting on a mountain with wildflowers in her hair

The Oceans obey as the tides are timed with her breath

Moon reflects in her eye as she confronts death with a fearless stare

When the Reaper rests, this woman is his puzzle

A warrior on the inside, more than compassionate on the outside

She's got Death twisted, the Reaper is smelling Honeysuckle

Death knows it's lost this battle she is a legend in my eyes

Cold and slow and down comes snow

Amazing sight as a flake now melts on her lip

Burned and learned watching pages of life end and turn

It's frozen motion as the sky starts to glow

Reaper's tearing up, twitching eye as he lets a tear slip

life's mysteries unfurl so simply like a curl in Fern

Shooting stars stop their journey and now float above

The Universe feels the loss of such a precious soul

Skyscrapers bow themselves without crumbling to pay respects

Whales show respect and are now carrying the mountain that is now a boat

The unknown and unexplained come together for a single righteous goal

Reaper in disbelief shakes violently nearly severing head form neck

Death retreats for the time being, a fact that is unfortunately true

and as she sheds her past, she comes to life and looks at you
