It is cloudy outside.
The mist is spewing,
Cicadas are singing,
Today, there’s mourning.
The light is dimming,
A soul is leaving.
It is done, learning.
The choice is taken.
Why is it I negotiate?
Begging for peace:
Knowing that evading is;
Leaving with a pending lease.
A shy air, caressing.
An aching heart.
Ready to go still.
Ready to stop beating.
I feel the stillness,
I smell the scent,
Death is here.
Welcome my dear.
Welcome my dear.
What can I do?
I keep asking.
How can I help?
I keep looking.
The threads, the spells
Envy and greed, hells!
I ask again, why?
From another world I fell..
To be here, witness and tell
Death… What a deal?
I feel it… Winter is near…
Another story with a silent bell.
Judgment or wisdom,
The scale is flipping,
For yet a new beginning…
An eye flickering….
The sun is setting,
In the vast horizon,
Merging…
An eye flickering….
The sun is setting,
In the vast horizon,
Merging…
