Sonnet of Sorrow
When I have reached the end of my days
To bargain with death, to barter with life
When I have stood before God's mighty gaze
Will there still be hatred, conflict and strife?
When I have witnessed time stand still
and have battled sickness, plague and blight
Will I confront death's icy chill
or will I follow it into the light?
When living lifts its clever guise
Will I be able to stand and be brave?
When my fountain of youth finally dries
Will I accept it and lay in my grave?
For what is death but a new start
and what is life but a stake through the heart?
