I tried to deny it
I cannot abide it
but I admit I am afraid
death is a mystery
I know the history
the end of every plan I made
my life is ending
the night descending
where I have never been before
I thought that I
would never die
but now I must deny no more
but I still wish
a parting kiss
I do not want to leave this world
though I know rest
is probably best
among the stars where planets whirl
I loved my life
success or strife
and I accepted all that came
so I will sleep
in stardust deep
and face the end of joy and pain
