The End

In darkness deep where fears entwine We face the truth of finite time Through tangled vines of doubt we tread Embracing certainty where time is spread Nothing left but to welcome the fall In his chilled grasp we can't fore-stall The pain, the sorrow, the bitter taste Of a lifetime path gone in haste Through haunted dreams and endless night We confront the void, our final fight We dance the dance with every breath In the fleeting moments observed by Death Lurking in veiled corners it waits unseen A timeless witness over a solemn scene Just a whisper in the quiet of the night As the stars above dim their light Nothing left but to welcome the fall In his chilled grasp we can't fore-stall The pain, the sorrow, the bitter taste Of a lifetime path gone in haste Through haunted dreams and endless night We confront the void, our final fight We dance the dance with every breath In the fleeting moments observed by Death No salvation in denial no time for regrets Just the truth, flowing through a vignette Will there be peace now in letting go? Awash in the ebb and flow that sorrows sow Slipping through the liminal places Surrounded by half remembered faces The pain, the sorrow, the bitter taste Of a lifetime path gone in haste With a final gasp a spark is released The last grains signal that time has ceased Through the darkness, we'll find our light In shedding this mortal coil, souls take flight
