Into the Abyss

Into the Abyss Death, a journey we all make, Into the abyss for heaven's sake, A final breath, life's thread will break, And all earthy ties shall forever shake. The Reaper's scythe cuts through time, A fate we cannot help but climb, A one-way trip, a life sublime, Our souls departing, to the unknown chime. The grief of loved ones left behind, Proving that death is not so kind, Lost in memories, tears unrefined, Their shattered hearts a difficult bind. Yet death is not the end, they say, A new beginning, another way, Our souls ascend, towards the light's ray, Reborn to a new world, a new heart's sway. So when death comes to knock on our door, We need not fear, nor dread it more, For beyond it lies a new shore, A place of peace, forevermore.
