Meeting with Death

[Verse 1] He walked a dusty road at twilight’s glow, No hurry in his stride, no weight to show. The shadows whispered tales of yesteryear, Then Death appeared, a silhouette so near. [Chorus] “Old friend,” he smiled, “you’ve come to walk my side, No trembling heart, no need to run or hide. We’ll share the path where time and silence blend, For every soul must meet an ancient friend.” [Verse 2] No crown of fear, no scythe to seal his fate, Just hands outstretched, like autumn leaves that wait. “I’ve lived my days,” he said, “with no regret, The sun has set, but peace is mine to get.” [Chorus] “Old friend,” he smiled, “you’ve come to walk my side, No trembling heart, no need to run or hide. We’ll share the path where time and silence blend, For every soul must meet an ancient friend.” [Bridge] The stars bore witness, gentle in their gaze, A quiet end to life’s unyielding maze. No mournful dirge, no tears to cloud the night— Just two old souls embracing fading light. [Chorus] “Old friend,” he smiled, “you’ve come to walk my side, No trembling heart, no need to run or hide. We’ll share the path where time and silence blend, For every soul must meet an ancient friend.”
