Inhaling time,
Death looks up with soft gray eyes
to gasp for life.

Exhaling peace,
you slow down while shallow breaths
grow short and still.

Holding back tears,
I lay down your weathered soul
and say goodbye.

Recently, I've lost a few people I was very close to. This poem really speaks to me. I want to thank you for putting what I feel into words more perfectly than I ever will.
