31: Dear lovely death

Blogged on Thursday, March 22nd, 2007 by Rachael. Filed in Emo.

Today’s post is a tribute to my good friend’s grandfather, who passed away yesterday morning, in peace.

dear lovely death

Dear lovely Death
That taketh all things under wing -
Never to kill -
Only to change
Into some other thing
This suffering flesh,
To make it either more or less,
But not again the same -
Dear lovely Death,
Change is thy other name.

~Langston Hughes
