Death Sonnet the Third
Of the time that pass beyond me and you'll
Never know the way that I have wanted
To believe, in times that I have cried red,
That the way to make amends is so cruel
Decay betrays fateful winds that blow cool
Life divided and it fills me with dread
Hidden meaning in the words we have said
In thy blood red honor, death I will rule
How can my soul ever show me the way,
That I never knew until now was mine?
Death comes for you at the end of the day
Death comes for me in the time of glory
Know this now my soul to you I consign
In the storm I want to rise if I may
