Darkness falls in shades of gray
Where sunlight once did shine,
Shadows gather deepening
Thoughts that once were mine,
Silence echoes all around
In loud and piercing pall –
Lifeblood throbbing only sound
Within these darkened walls;
Slowly ebbing
Slowly ebbing
Emptiness is all surrounding,
All consuming every breath –
Void of color, only darkness,
Velvet darkness touching death;
Peaceful quiet, peaceful nothing,
No more thoughts forevermore –
End is nearing, spirit clearing
Pathway leads to heaven’s door –
Slowly ebbing
Slowly ebbing
Slowly ebbing…………
Nothing more.
