As I close the last window and draw the blinds shut;
The mountains once viewed and cool crisp air no longer a must.
As I dim the lights and close my eyes to rest
Visions of my tomorrows quickly fading as if to suggest;
A new dawning beyond the horizon removes the hands of time,
Leaving just my capsule of this world behind...

In the silence, shadows creep,
Life's journey ends, we fall asleep.
A timeless slumber, deep and still,
Death's mystery, a solemn thrill.
Like fading stars in the endless night,
We leave this world, take our flight.
A chapter closed, a final breath,
In the dance of life and death.

In a slow, venomous infusion,
No trace was left to find.
The heart's rhythm started fading,
As the final breath escaped the nostrils,
The body lay there, motionless,
Pain drifting into distant realms.
In silence, unheard and unseen,
Eternal slumber commenced,
A rest from which there is no return.

Looking back at my life and how far I've come
Many joys a few regrets but what's done is done
Soon my journey will continue and I hope to be a guest
In that faraway place called The Inn of Eternal Rest
Sometimes this world of ours and its many woes
Create burdens so heavy that seem to grow and grow
We bend under the burden hoping to never break
With a smile on our face while inside we deal with heartache
Memories flood my mind as my hands grow ever more idle
As I wait patiently for that final trains arrival
That train that will carry me dressed in my Sunday best
To that faraway place called The Inn of Eternal Rest

Silence
All is quite there is no one making a sound
Peace
Here there is peace but happiness can not be found
Darkness
Pitch black is the only color you will ever see
Memories
Nothing more then hollow thoughts of what use to be
Pain
You may have felt it before but here it is obsolete
Love
As strong as it may have been even it can not survive here
Hate
You no longer have a heart on which to harbor such feelings
Faith
What you once believed in only matters to those who can not be seen
Dreams
They die with you unless someone remembers them and makes them come true
Whether or not you chose this path or the path chose you at long last Eternal Rest is upon you.

I’m trying so hard to erase this frown
For I’ll never know when eternally I’ll lay it down
Times that I don’t know
I just stomp and go
Never falter
How I miss the gauntlet so
Scramble my life in a song
You can say what you want
But I know there’s no place like home
For I have been alone, for so very long
It doesn’t just come to me
I live it
Several times a day
I’d be willing to give it
Nights fall
But my weary days still loom
I want the lights and all
But there’s no room
Highlights plague me
And my mistakes preview my doom
So I’m trying so hard to erase this frown
For I’ll never know when eternally I’ll lay it down
