Death.
It comes suddenly,
The swell of a wave,
Hard to overcome,
Peaceful to ride.
Death.
It leaves with a sigh,
Resignation.
Surrender.
Death.
It ends with a whisper,
A final goodbye.
As the midnight star rises into the sky.

This piece is not meant to be read as death being sad. More like a quiet ending. a "final goodbye"
