A Song to Die To

There exists a song for you to die to 
If you’d only open your heart to hear it
Its familiar melody greets you warmly, as if an old friend 
Easing your attachments, releasing your fears
A progression of chords guiding you down to your most quiet depths 
The consonance melts your trembling nerves as you sink into a deep pool of peace
The darkness grows and you welcome the stillness, remembering
You’ve been here before  
Velvet sounds filling the space between your final breaths
Holding you close, it gently whispers 
And you are cradled in this symphony of loving awareness 
As you drift off into the sweetest of slumbers
