Death's Presence
January 12, 2026
How the saying goes?
That you too should die alone.
Laying on death’s bed,
lonely is one’s cry.
Death watches from afar,
shadows your concluding moment.
No loved ones to hear last drawn breaths.
A final act that draws in circling crows.
Though alone would be wrong;
for Death holds you with a careful hand,
guides you to a dusty tombstone,
lays down your sickly, old bones.
Alone in life may you be,
but Death is prone to pity for the lonely.

This is beautiful. I might even take some inspiration from it!
A sonnet I worked on for a school assignment. I thought personifying death would be an interesting topic to write for.
