The invitation
08.28.06 (11:34 am) [edit]Alone in darkness,
No one near,
Moans of pain unheard
In a seemingly callous world.
The old woman gasped,
Struggling for life,
It is sweet
In spite of the crosses endured.
Pain severe,
Does no one care
That a life is ending in such agony
With no hand to hold?
Her terror climbs as the dark draws near,
Body numb from the rising cold,
Lips blue,
Breathing a struggle.
Suddenly a change,
A peace not hoped for
Seeping
Into the mind of the dying one.
Slowly the presence came,
With it the warmth,
An invitation given,
Accepting the woman died, yet not alone.
