On Death

Death comes sweetly
Except when it’s unexpected
Which I imagine
Is what happens
On most occasions

Will any of us
Manage this unexpected gift
Or interruption
To what might have been
A joyous occasion

The gift may be swift
If the pain has been long
But circumstance
Will determine
On this occasion

So I can wait, expect,
Even prepare
But I still don’t know
The exquisite timing
Of my occasion
