Silent and Still

With your eternal eyes, quiet and open, you stare into space.
Your soft, shimmering procession, is apparent in your empty gaze... Your beauty lies peacefully.
Breathing softly, your tales of the past.
Your destiny is eternity.
Nothing in this reality is made to last...
Death creeps silently upon us, opening her cruel hands... She's coming to take us with her, into her eternal land...
Your face is like solid stone.
so perfectly painted and pale.
Your hands are cold, and your body rests quietly.
so delicate and frail... Reminds me that this fragile life, is merely a loan to us.
Until we too fall silent and still.
And vanish into the blowing dust...
Death creeps silently upon us, opening her cruel hands... She's coming to take us with her, into her eternal land...
