Acceptance Of Death

Sitting here in the confinements
A room consumed with dead silence
Reflecting on life in darkness
Fighting thoughts of death and sadness

As Death acquires souls around
Their bodies buried underground
My mind, clenched, tries to fight the pain
Until some sanity's regained

Acceptance of Death, we must know
Requires some numbness in our souls
As mortals search through the windows
For signs of grief, but we've let go

Prayers tranport us to the doors
Of realms unseen, knees on the floor
Minds consumed in a darkened state
Pondering the paths to our fates

Our destines we may create
By the gates of death, loved ones wait
For who says in fear we must wail
And without riches we have failed?

Now we must venture into caves
Of nightmares beyond what sin craves
And combat states of mind, prepare
For what awaits us, looming near

As stillness of the air does bind
My conplicated state of mind
Thoughts of sadness, I must defeat
Where realness of life and death meets
