How tender is death

 How tender is death 

To be out of the pain 

When you stand out in the freezing rain

The beauty of the black

Warming your backs 

When someone else reigns

All emotions are at ease

With the breath of the autumn breeze 

To float away and say goodbye

As the tears gather in the eyes

To stand on the river Styx  with a coin

Waiting for the trip 

A voyage to another place

Escaping  the pain of the human race

I walk onto the boat as my soul begins to float

He nodes at me and begins to row

As the darkness begins to grow

Memories are fading fast 

With no recollection of the past

Were I go 

I don't know 

I just follow the river's flow
