wait in stillness,
the end is near…
words of sadness,
words of remorse,
the grief he carried,
making sense of his life…
 
wait in stillness,
Be at peace,
in your spirit…
Words of reality,
words of fate,
words to heal…
 
wait in stillness,
for the end, for death,
wait for the cold,
Fate before us,
wait for the chapter to end,
for the door to close…
