Between Life and Death

Time Making up the rules which we play against Silence As the breath within slips away Final Submerging into the black forever Keeping Those who’ve crossed the threshold into after Oh to behold her, in all her splendor The entrancing grace of movement Captivate my fascination And she sends me such beauty I will keep them always Across the river, on the other side Cold The long winter night brings many home Gone Across the passage before the dawn Lost Weary and broken they shuffle over the threshold Time Run out for all she brings me, into silence
