Sandman- issue #08

death is before me today:
like the recovery of a sick man,
like going forth into a garden after sickness.

death is before me today:
like the odour of myrrn,
like sitting under a sail in a good wind.

death is before me today:
like the course of a stream,
like the return of a man fro the war-galleyto his house.

death is before me today:
like the home a man longs to see,
after years spent as a captive.

on a final note: fear not death, as it is as natural as birth itself.
