In the circle of existence, intertwined,
Where life and death forever bind,
I wander through this mortal plane,
Seeking truths that I may attain.

Life's breath,
A fragile ember's glow,
A dance of moments, ebb and flow,
From birth's embrace
To youth's wild flame,
We journey forth, in search of fame.

In vibrant hues,
We paint our days,
With laughter's joy and love's sweet ways,
We seize the hours,
We grasp the light,
Bathing in the sun, so warm and bright.

Yet shadows lurk, where darkness dwells,
As dusk descends, tolling mournful bells,
Death's gentle touch, a final caress,
Whispers secrets, in the soul's distress.

In stillness deep, we find release,
Embracing silence, finding peace,
From worldly cares, we're finally free,
A dance with eternity,
Forever to be.

Life and death,
Entwined in grace,
A timeless waltz, in endless space,
Each step a part of nature's scheme,
The grand design,
An eternal dream.

So let us honor life's fragile breath,
Embrace its beauty,
Defy the depths,
For in its fleeting grace we find,
The essence of love well refined.

And when our time comes to depart,
Let us surrender with open heart,
Knowing that in death's gentle embrace,
A new beginning,
A sacred grace.
