Silent In The Wake Poem by Sally Knox

Death is imminent
with a ruthless grasp
even those deemed immortal
can never escape

we fight It in vain
to ever suffer
Death may seem a blessing
when pain is at stake

some make It occur
and always regret
for those souls left endure
despair none can shake

we watch this demise
alone in our thoughts
and we can do nothing
do nothing but wait

until time is spent
and we see It invade
bowed heads weep in silence
silent in Death's wake
