Death

Through corridors of fading light The veil grows thin, the soul takes flight As neurons dance their final song The boundaries we knew are gone Serpents writhe through sacred ground While seraph wings beat without sound The seventy-two arise in flame Each whispering your secret name Every lie you've told yourself Now shatters like a mirror's wealth The truth you've hidden from your sight Blooms in darkness, burning bright Remember now the guiding star That soul who showed you what you are Hold fast their light through phantom screams As reality unravels seems Some sink deep in guilt's dark tide Seeing all the tears they've dried While others rise on wings of grace Finding love's eternal face The choice is yours but choose with care For what you grasp will hold you there Heaven, hell, or sovereign might All bloom from seeds of your last sight Like mountains painted on the sky You'll shed this form and learn to fly Or sink beneath the weight of chains That you yourself chose to maintain So hear these words while breath remains And mark them in your heart's domains For when the final curtain falls Remember: love transcends it all
