Death seems on a spree

Death seems
on a spree
these days

picking up
souls
it deems
necessary

no questions
one can ask
he is but
only doing his task

sometimes
without a reason

yet you follow
where it leads
leaving no trail

the ashes
so frail
dissolve

or is carried
by the wind
swirling around

they say
the soul
can reach
far and wide
before you realize
you're on the other side

Death
with its black hood
grants you

one last look
at the familiar
you would leave

from then on
it perhaps
is a new journey
that is
little understood

those left behind
would remember
the deeds

In time
even that
would be forgotten

All they can do
is pray
that you
find your way

Life ends here
Death begins its journey
who knows
its the same journey
backwards...
