Now Came Death

I slowly and quickly overcame death,
Its grasp was hidden from my soul;
At first this initial request came from energy
This way and that, licking the wounds as of now.
Victory meandered in the pathways of justice,
Kicking and pulling the thoughts so solid,
On a sloping ground it hurt.
Then the faster you walked they disagreed
As of now, as if solutions of water and other solvents
Converged and diverged when the wetness
Occurred, as of now.
