Cessation

In the darkest of the night, With world all asleep, She was awake, For promises she had to keep, Kids crying all night, Dogs barking, She went out of sight, Leaving no sound ringing, Read and heard, Were her words, Alive and free, Was this young bird, Caged her dreams, Now rests in peace, Staged her fears, Time has seized, This young lass, With everything to hide, Left this unworthy place, Keeping her left happiness, By her side, She finally felt no pain, On her piquant face, Her time was finally up, By god’s grace. She is no longer awake, Only in his dreams, As she swoons with the wind, And rushes down the stream, Is where she finally is, Laughing, Dreaming, Singing And Dead.
