Nearing the end

I can feel it coming.
Like flushing in my face before it appears.
'I can feel it coming.
So long a life favorably blessed
Where rolling dice
Came up winner each time.

But probability prevails.

I can feel it coming.
Storm shadows roll in front of the sun
Before rain and cold appear.
I can feel it coming
With dread in my chest
And cries unspoken.
