A warm summer's day
I parked the car off the road
Walked to the river
There under the trees
Thinking about life and death
My mind drifting off
Then when I awoke
Somebody sat by my side
It was Death himself
"You know that it's time?
He asked and I understood
"One last walk?" I asked
Laughing, shook his head
"Why not" he said getting up
As I got up too
He took river side
Lest I tried to escape him
As we strolled along
At the river's bend
I pushed him in the water
Ran off to the car
I had driven off
Well before he could get out
So I win round one

Good for you Oldegg, the time wasn't right.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Robin! Dunk him!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad! Keep eluding him. We need you! I am doing the same at this end, lol.
ReplyDeleteRiverside wasn't so wise on His part...

To be able to run from death only works for a while... a sense of the seventh seal in this.
ReplyDeleteI love the thought to pushing death into the river and running away. That is pretty humor commentary when you think about the metaphor. This works on so many levels. Well done and thanks for posting to the Out of Standard.
