Laying in the soft comfort of my bed one night,
I begin to drift off to sleep.
But before I can begin dreaming,
A sweet melody comes to my ears;
The most lovely music I have ever heard.
And though this sweet song is wordless,
The notes tell me all;
The song speaks of love and hatred in unseemly harmony,
War and peace joining,
Melancholy and happiness blended together as one,
And never-ending neutrality.
I listen to this song,
Wonderful and yet terrible,
Upbeat and yet sinister;
The lovely notes slowly die out in my ears,
My heart pounding along with the slowing beat,
Slackening its pace with the perishing song,
Quieting with the dying notes.
I realize too late that this is the last song,
The last song for me,
As my breath stops forever,
My heart beating no longer,
And all is silent as I fall into an eternal slumber.

life is what but a song of opposites. and, as it was said, when the music is over, turn off the lights....there is a beauty in the way you have described the transition.
