senescence

We are drawn to beautiful things
Youth, strength, vitality
Plucking flowers while they're green
Try to cage the bird and make it sing

Fragile stalks oscillating
Inquisitive why they're aging
Clutching to memories
Culled down by Winter's silent sting

Rise to meet
At your feet
No fears or shame
Death knows all names

Withered stems dispersing seeds
Conjuring sorceries
Close your eyes, find your place
One last breath, accept the grave

Rise to meet
At her feet
No fears or shame
Death knows all names

Open eyes
A final place
Eternal life
Accept your fate
Open eyes
A final place
Eternal life
Accept your fate

Rise to meet
At her feet
No fears or shame
Death knows all names
