Darkness falls in shades of gray <br />Where sunlight once did shine, <br />Shadows gather deepening <br />Thoughts that once were mine; <br />Silence echoes all around <br />In loud and piercing pall <br />Lifeblood throbbing only sound <br />Within these darkened walls; <br />Slowly ebbing, <br />Slowly ebbing, <br />Emptiness is all surrounding <br />All consuming every breath <br />Void of color, only darkness <br />Velvet darkness touching death; <br />Peaceful quiet, peaceful nothing <br />No more thoughts forevermore <br />End is nearing, spirit clearing <br />Pathway leads to heaven's door - <br />Slowly ebbing, <br />Slowly ebbing, <br />Slowly ebbing <br />Nothing more.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-descending/
