Last night in my dreams
I spoke with Death
And asked if it was the end.
He said, "No for you still have a job to do".
Though you are a warrior and winner of many battles,
your tasks are not yet through.
Then we walked on
And met other spirits gathered there,
I knew them all
And they knew me.
There was no need for a name.
They rested where all will rest
When once their tasks are done.
Death spoke then saying;
"You must leave now,
Your time here is through.
You will not see me again until
Your tasks are done
And I come for you".
