Death Found Poem by Billy Loving

Death so sudden is he
Like a camouflaged snake striking from a tree
Of his presence unaware
Too late, time for despair
Life suddenly gone
Stiffening, sitting all alone
Blank eyes waiting to be found
Hidden within, making not a sound
Clueless visitor begins to knock
Putrid horror, left in shock
Dumbfounded, feeling so bereft
Dying when last he left
To visit with, no more
His final journey through his companion's door
