Final Rest

As i lay down to rest.

quietly lurking is the shadow of death.

Forever waiting in darkest glee.

he torments me endlessly.

He mocks me at every turn.

laughing as my sorrows churn.

I cover my ears to tune him out.

but i can't contain my riseing doubts.

Fitfully i fall asleep.

but stil i see his evil deeds.

Wakeing then at deaths behest.

I now find my eternal rest.
