Seeing
all living souls
waiting for last heartbeat
claiming their spirit by her kiss
shrouding them in eternity's gold veil
deaf to pleas for saying goodbye
being to her another face
fate guiding her
seeing
Feeling
their lost desires
touching her pure essence
filling it with mortal passions
until they tell their own story inside
letting her senses inhale lives
by the tales they whisper
moving her with
feeling
Knowing
each secret kept
bearing them with care
storing them in Pandora's box
hidden between the cosmic pearls of light
universe shining every thought
for the sleep of dreamers
with her special
knowing

Wonderful! It appears that death is female in this piece. You have pictured her with such gentleness. This is very touching.
