A Death Poem

 The cold and lunatic smile

that can be seen in a starless night

On a lonely island surrounded by the sea of miles

Before the dawn with its morning light,

Is the flame of life so fickle and pale?

Who fights until she is without strength and pain.


Keep it in the courage of the soul

Through the shadows of your worldly path,

And the waves of clouds that roll around your being

He will sleep in the light of a wonderful day

Where hell and heaven will set you free

To the universe of destiny.


This world is the nurse of all that we know

This world is the mother of all that hurts

And the arrival of death is a terrible blow

To a brain not traversed by nerves of steel:

When everything we don't know, feel or see

It will go through a great mystery of falsehood


The secret things of the crypt are there,

Where everything must surely be

Although the fine eye and the wonderful ear

She will no longer live, neither to hear nor to see

Everything that's cool and everything that's weird

In the limitless realm of endless change.


Who tells a story of death without words?

Who raises the curtain on things to come?

That paints the shadows below

The winding caverns of the full crypt?

Or join the hopes of what will be

With fears and loves for what we will see?
