Graceful Departure

Flying high
Shallow breath
Lightheaded thoughts
Whimsical Death

Like a dream
No trouble, no rush
No anything, really
Quiet now, hush

Let him take you away
On his grand onyx steed
Let him sweep you all up
This is all that you need

Just leave now, dear
You're at rest at last
Adventures await you
Since you had a short past

You lived so fast
Died so young
Words beautifully spoken
Songs beautifully sung

Body so perfect
Face so pressed
And now here you lie
In your stark white lace dress

Eyes fallen closed
Lips sealed, painted red
Your secrets died with you
And share your padded wooden bed

You won't be missed
Your family won't morn
They know now you're happy
Though they can't regret you were born

Quiet, my sweet
Let this all blend away
Ride away on Death's horse
Fade out, find your way
