death woven into intricate fabrics
permeates all life all ecosystems
death stalks the night stalks the day
in all seasons death finds its prey
in hours minutes seconds
in flight struggle moments
death kingdoms nature rules
a few moments predator kills
silence unnerving time stops
life lost nature pause honours
death terminating life has a final say
a circular finality defines life cycles
day leaves grow dark time passes
but death cannot stop long life songs gay
