Bowed heads surround the bed
The final breath has passed
The pestilence has met its end
The light has dimmed at last
A rising spark from the sky afar
Another spirit shall join the stars
A soul seeps from corporeal decay
Gathering energy as it makes its way
To float in the infinite sea
Of all that shall ever be
The memories foam
And then recede
Relinquishing the senses
The family mourns in attendance
Your resignation to the heavens
Just as their pain commences
