I Heard Death Above Me

inspired by a line of dialogue from The Incredible Hulk episode "Nine Hours"
 
 
I heard death above me
The sound of raven's wings
Fluttering and flapping
Then brushing on the floor
 
I heard death behind me
As I lay upon the ground
The empty, wooden sound
Of a scythe against my door
 
Death knelt by my shoulder
His chill hand like polar snows
The presence, and the future
My heart, my innards froze
 
Then a clattering of bones
Death banished from that place
Molten gold assuaged me
A radiant Presence warmed my face
 
"You are mine,"  He whispered.
"You have no need for fear.
I am here beside you,
And always will be near.
Call my name, and I shall save:
I have victory o'er the grave."
