Thinking of Death

I have felt its presence once before.
That time I was aware of being stalked
As I followed a path along Kailua beach.
I turned abruptly, to confront an empty sand dune
That held no cause for alarm, and my concern faded.  
This time it was a thought process flowing from Ebola in Guinea
To an invasion of an unconquerable pestilence
That held no hostility,
merely a two day journey

From this life.
