December - Assemblage 23

In the passing light

Silent and alone

Trying to make sense

A fate now set in stone

Never enough time

Somehow it isn’t fair

Sprinting towards the finish

Running out of air

When December ends

At last you will be free

Unbound from Earthly plight

Unfettered by disease

When December ends

The pain will disappear

Your worries all behind you

No more suffering or fear

Every day 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 December ends

At last you will be free

Unbound from Earthly plight

Unfettered by disease

When December ends

The pain will disappear

Your worries all behind you

No more suffering or fear

When the moment came

A tear fell from your eye

Your senses overwhelmed

A beauty words defy

Weightless and complete

A sudden sense of ease

May your spirit carry on

As the wind that shakes the trees

When December ends

At last you will be free

Unbound from Earthly plight

Unfettered by disease

When December ends

The pain will disappear

Your worries all behind you

No more suffering or fear
