The Cycle of Life
As the daylight fades and darkness takes control,
I stand on the brink of time, deep within my soul.
As the embers of the fire die, I hear whispers of despair,
Echoing through my spirit, a warning of the end that's there.
Yet, when the final light flickers, I refuse to take the leap,
And brave the danger, for I have no fear to keep.
As I plunge into the abyss, fire and ice swirl all around,
Half-remembered faces frozen in time, lost and never found.
This is the moment the earth stands still, and Angels of forgiveness descend
To breathe new life into my soul, and extend new hope to end.
In the depths of my being, the winds of immortality blow,
Reviving the last flicker of light and making it forever glow.
With this newfound strength, I challenge my dreams to quench my thirst for life.
I run through mountains, across fields and deserts with a renewed sense of might.
As I pass through valleys, my soul awakens, like a winter breeze over snow.
As the moonlight bathes the hills, I hear whispers of darkness flow.
May my heart be filled with love, and my mind with wisdom untold.
In the end, may my soul find peace, and my spirit forever bold.
As my journey draws to a close, and my dreams no longer torment,
It's up to us to make a difference, and cherish each and every moment.
