You can almost feel it creeping in
The darkness is upon you
Engulfing, embracing, caressing
As soft as velvet and dark as night
It seizes you in it's coldness
You cannot resist, it is too tempting
You feel the cold in your veins
But somehow it feels like home
A familiar touch, one felt before
Give in to it and let go the agony
Let it take all the pain away
No more suffering, no more torment
For it is an old friend, one long forgotten
A familiar touch for the soul
Taking your last breath away
No pain, only dark bliss
Velvety soft and bittersweet
As you slowly sink into the darkness
Death has taken you.

As I sit by my window
I watch the autumn leaves fall
I remember my dad
His favorite time of year
His children playing in the yard
Laughing, no worries
His gentle smile
A simple gesture of love
Happy days gone by
As we are older now
We have grown apart
But I remember those days
The leaves fall like snow
A cool, crisp breeze blows
But my heart is warm
With memories of dad
Autumn holds such beauty
Just as I hold my dad in my heart
And I will always remember
Just as my brothers, I'm sure
Even though we are older
The love that was given
The time that we spent
The memories that we made
Remember.
