Comments: I'm not much of a poet, but this one moves me.
Azrael came to me that day That globe of ice and snow. "This is his final illness," he told me. And I replied, "I know". "That he continues on this moment Is not of Nature's make. What is soothed by this circus? How much more suffering must he take?" I cannot deny the tears in my eyes Knowing there was nothing I could do. Azrael offered release from this pain. I said, "How you speak true." Azrael looked at him then His jewel eyes filling with tears. He joined me in weeping For a man who had suffered for years. Azrael came to me that day That globe of ice and snow. "This is his final illness," he told me. And I replied, "I know".
