Life and death

Life is the sound of children laughing in the morning,
Death is a silence that never speaks.
Life moves fast, it loves colors,
Death stays cold, it does not need the sun.

One grows like a young tree,
The other comes quietly to end everything.
They never walk together, even when they are close,
Because one is light, the other is stone.

But life always beats before it falls,
And death always waits without a word.
