In the passing light,

Silent and alone

Trying to make sense,

A fate now set in stone

There's never enough time

Somehow it isn't fair

Sprinting towards the finish,

Running out of air

When December ends



When December ends,

At last, you will be free

Unbound from earthly plight,

Unfettered by disease

When December ends,

The pain disappears

Worries all behind you

No more suffering or fear



Everyday is pain

A dull narcotic haze

Brief moments of awareness

Losing track of days

The world seems so dim

As faculties decline

Your body, just a prison,

To trap your mind inside



When the moment came

A tear fell from your eye

Your senses overwhelmed

A beauty undefied

Weightless and complete

Some sense of ease

May your spirit carry on,

As the wind shakes the trees



When December ends

At last, you will be free

Unbound from earthly plight,

Unfettered by disease

When December ends,

The pain disappears

Worries all behind you

No more suffering or fear
