Reflections on Mortality

In a world of endless light,

We forget the dark, the final night,

Of death, the inevitable plight.


The beauty of life, like a bird in flight,

Is the moments we seize, the path we ignite,

In a world of endless light.


Technology may guide us, like a shining sprite,

But death remains a mystery, a shadowy height,

Of death, the inevitable plight.


The emotions we feel, like a wild kite,

Are the essence of life, the struggle we fight,

In a world of endless light.


Let us not forget the values we recite,

The love, the joy, and the peace we incite,

Of death, the inevitable plight.


Our lives are shaped by the memories we write,

And the emotions we feel, the passions we excite,

In a world of endless light,

Of death, the inevitable plight.
