Death's Cowl
Death's cowl shadows the soul's release
while rising to meet its maker,
and all mortal ties to Life cease.
Birth is counterbalanced by Death,
for we must experience both
Life's first breath, and Death's final breath.
Grief wears a veil of mournful tears
worn to soften reality:
woven out of sadness and fears.
Death cannot exist without Birth,
and Life can't evolve without Death:
both fuel diversity on Earth.
Death's a natural progression:
Life can never be forever,
and souls accept this concession.
Distilled from belief, tears of faith
shed in memory of the dead:
celebrate the soul's salvation.
