The Visitors

A visitor called the other night
I think his name was, "Death";

there was a hideousness about his eyes,
and an icy chill, inside his breath.

He spoke to me of a journey
if I'd promise to commit;

where the irritating sounds of life would fade,
and life's harsh lights would stay unlit.

Then another visitor came along
and I believe her name was, "Life",

just because of the way she looked at, "Death"...
and made him put away his knife.
