When Death Comes

Silent shadows fall, whispering low

A quiet call, where no light will go

In the hush of the night, when dreams fade away

A shadow takes flight, as wishes betray

Time slips through the cracks, like a ghost in the hall

Silent attacks, on the memory’s wall

Hold on to the heat, before it’s gone

Fading heartbeat, into the dawn

A whisper in the breeze, no voice, no sound

When death comes to seize, without a bound

When death comes, will you stand tall?

Face the silence, hear the call

In the final breath, we all must go

In the dance of death, let it flow

Lost in the night, where no stars gleam

Fading in the light, a forgotten dream

Echoes of the past, fading into the mist

Time couldn’t last, in death’s cold fist

When the silence speaks, and shadows fall

Remember the peaks, and save it all

When death comes softly, like a gentle tide

In eternity, we will abide
