I rise to waken, full of sound and music
To battle with the demon that is silence
The slowing down of life to almost-death
For yes, the living journey ends in death
A life is but one part in larger music
With duets, solos, symphony and silence
Now call upon command at once to silence
These thoughts, so far from life, encompass death
To bring my mind and heart back to the music
The music of the silence that is death
To share is human:
