Deadly Presence



Slowly approaching each other
My own death and me.
The distance is full of respect
Still no hurry for me

Maybe we meet
Before midnight is here
Lurking around the corner
You could well be

Thirty years more
I will gladly take
If my clear mind
In a healty body resides

Will you see me
When all of me is in pain
I will see you
As a welcome friend

Not yet I see you coming
You alone know the hour
The truth of your living absence
Is deadly presence now
