Molly writes under the pen name M. Allman. If you would like to read more of her work, you can find her books on Amazon Kindle.

Death's breath creeps in

enticing the body to release the soul.

No struggle, inhale, exhale

once more.

The soul is released,

the body free from pain.

Suffer no more.

A deep slumber ensues

as the body, just a shell,

is consumed by the earth.

The spirit is free

awaiting its promised

destiny of eternal life

and happiness.
