Dancing with Shadows

In the realm where darkness reigns supreme,

Where whispers die and dreams dissolve,

There lies a dance with no escape,

A poetic rendezvous with Death.

Oh, Death, thou art a beguiling dancer,

With steps that linger in the depths of sorrow,

In your embrace, we find solace and fear,

For you are the harbinger of the unknown.

In twilight's hue, you paint a poignant scene,

As souls tremble, entranced by your allure,

From the shadows you emerge, silent and serene,

Casting ethereal spells, both delicate and pure.

With each pirouette, you claim a life,

A fragile thread severed, destiny entwined,

Yet, in the emptiness you leave behind,

We find the essence of what it means to be alive.

In the whispers of departed souls,

In the hymn sung by a grieving heart,

We grasp the transience of our mortal coil,

And embrace the beauty, before we depart.

Oh, Death, you are a muse of bittersweet,

You caress our fear with gentle embrace,

Through your dark dance, we seek to understand,

The fragile beauty of our human race.

So, let us waltz with shadows, hand in hand,

In the ballroom of eternity, where time stands still,

For in the dance of Death, we learn to cherish,

The fleeting moments, and embrace life's thrill.
