Death

Darkness surrounds my stone,
as I lay silently at rest.
No more can you hear my groan.

Nothing now but dust and bone,
emptiness in my chest.
Darkness surrounds my stone.

I lay here all alone,
did I survive the test?
No more can you hear my groan.

It’s too late to atone,
I hope I did my best.
Darkness surrounds my stone.

Waited long, can’t postpone,
I can no longer jest.
No more can you hear my groan.

Now I wait in the unknown,
Hope that I am blessed.
Darkness surrounds my stone,
no more can you hear my groan.
