Fading Light
~
It’s not death that I face
but the fading of light-
In the calm of the storm
I forgot how to fight,
how to never conform
to this river of life-
Ah the comfort of being!
To let things fade away
to become, just become
at the end of my day
what the storm left behind-
So to die will not dread
but the fading instead
of this star-gazing mind-
