Slowly, slowly, everyone transforms into shadows, like dreams woven from star dust

Slowly, slowly, everyone transforms into shadows, like dreams woven from star dust,
Better to step boldly into the other world, in the splendor of a burning passion,
Than to fade and wither sadly under the burden of years, like dead leaves beneath the snow.
Oh, how the skies of life darken, a canvas of ink stretched over hopes,
In an eternal night of lost memories, each thought an ethereal echo
In a silent universe, where the lights sing their final melody.
The vortex of time rises like a ghostly dance of clouds in an infinite sky,
And my steps, living shadows on the dark paths of memory,
Better to burn like a mystical flame in the fires of forgetfulness,
Than to disappear into the deep quiet of loss, shining in each thought
That sculpts my eternity, an ephemeral yet luminous lighthouse in the abyss of night.
Shadows on the walls of dreams, unseen silhouettes moving
To the rhythm of a silent waltz, heavy and magical steps,
Their whispers, incantations lost in the silence of eternity,
Better to step into a blinding light, than to navigate
The rivers of mist of a life slowly dissolving into ephemeral outlines.
The mirror of my soul reflects ancient spirits, friends and loves,
All becoming shadows as night extends its silvery veil,
Better to love and lose, than to hold
The emptiness of a frozen heart, caught between time and dreams.
Love, a fire burning brightly, even if just for a moment,
Leaves a deep imprint on the fabric of destiny, a falling star in mysterious vastness.
As time flows, a river of gold and light of memories pouring into the ocean of dreams,
Each moment, each burst of passion,
Is a pearl on a string of enchantment, a shining beacon
On the endless seas of eternity. Better to live in vibrant colors,
Than to slowly melt into a pale shadow,
To burn with the intensity of a comet, to feel and shine, even if for a short time,
In a magical universe, woven from light and shadow.
