Death

Say goodbye to your loved ones,
Your time is nearly frozen.
Tears roll down their cheeks,
Many hearts are left broken.

You’re unsure what will happen next,
But you pray you’ll go to a better place.
The light is getting brighter,
This is a moment you must embrace.

Your eyes slowly close,
You take your final breath.
The lightness surrounds you,
Introduce yourself to death.

It could happen at any moment,
To anyone you may or may not know.
It’s either an accident or done on purpose,
Our spirits are finally free to let go.
