Do Not Fear Me

Do not fear me, I am with you when you say good night I will guide you, as I do now it's the end of the day So, be calm. Gently walk through the fading light Wrinkled skin and kyphosis, paralyze men with fright when they see me hovering around, they start to pray Do not fear me , I am with you when you say good night The end is dignity, do not struggle with all your might Do what's good, cleanse your mind; all the religions say So, be calm. Gently walk through the fading light I have seen you in great many races, this is not a fight Cameras clicked and trophies held, you had your own way Do it again, I am with you when you say good night Life is short, endless duties, time is always tight You lived a life of a genius, thats what people say So, be calm. Gently walk through the fading light As you wished, the horse-drawn carriage isn't white Your fame is written on millions of petals, on your way Do not fear now when it's time to say good night So be calm. Gently walk through the fading light This poem is inspired byDo not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas
