In blackness deep
Where silence thrives
Death's gentle touch
Our soul derives
A passage so dark
A mystery profound
In every heart
Its whispers resound

It comes as nightfall
Serene and still
A journey all take
At Death's own will
Yet in its grasp
A new beginning found
As life's ephemeral dance
Spins 'round and 'round

For in the cycle
Of life and decay
Death's role is clear
In its own way
It teaches us to cherish
Each breath we take
To live with purpose
Alive and awake
