The Night She Died

Folder: 
2005

The moon shone bright

on the night she died

Staring at her

the one who was alive and

Interrupting the solitude

the sleeping earth

So many times

She stood here in life

to pay homage to the

Goddess of Night

Her bed of purple clouds

on darkened velvet sky

Her blanket of stars

The cool breeze beckons her

the one who was alive

forward, onward into the night

and she will stay forever

Sweet, intoxicating

Night washes over her

Haunting, caressing

Night possesses her

Death was in that final call

She lifts the burden of Life

Elated

into Death's arms she flies

Serene

into Death's arms she falls

to join the silvery ghosts

within the dancing moonlight

of the moon that shone bright on

the night she died

sometimes people die to be reborn... and not in a physical sense I suppose heh you mentioned your friend didn't commit suicide. Glad she saw life through...
