Death, Where Are You

In the forsaken wasteland a tired traveler Breathless, can’t reply to the unseen caller From beyond the receding horizon unclear, Death, where are you. In the twilight hours the distant bell tolls I can’t perceive where but know who calls, Painful wait before the curtain finally falls, Death, where are you. The candle is melting fast to the end mark Shredded shadows of spent emotions lurk My mind would soon become blind in dark, Death, where are you. I hear sound of nearing footsteps of destiny It's time for me to make the caged soul free In the embrace of eternal bliss to find me, Death, where are you.

Subimal, your last line in the last stanza before the refrain offers a beautiful acceptance to ones final destiny. I like that.
