You come to me with sword drawn high
I meet you face to face, wanting a
completion, a definitive ending to
a life lived straightforward and strong.
Womb of darkness and timelessness comfort me
My moment in the sun was short and bright
I accomplished a great deal in this world
And now, I must retire this life for another.
I rode the winds of freedom, I spoke the language of love.
I drank the waters of life, I ate the fruit of success.
I earned the gift of friendships, I fought the anger of war.
I gave birth to new life, and now
I visit death.
