Once I was afraid of what death would bring: her gifts are unknowable
Fear clouds the mind when faced with tracks that are unfathomable
Thus I spent my entire life preparing for the final confrontation
I determined to be ready to face the damsel of death without trepidation
Not a single chance will she get to make my acquaintance, I resolved
My body shall be a picture of health, my sinews strong, quite evolved
Disease shall not visit my being, nourished by organic food and medicine
I made sure that my life's path never crossed with microbial denizens
But anxiety made me paranoid, investing present moment with dread
Causing the rosy hue of life to be permeated by dull pallor wide spread
My mind was filled with thoughts rampant, about my loved one's demise
Wily does she dance in green filled meadows, lapping up life's premise
Until one day I accosted her in the sunny backyard of my home
Asking her for a respite from her inexorable gift ever borne
She pointed to the winter trees stripped of foliage and bare
And showed me that her gift is meant to bring forth new fare
