Everlasting silence

He stared at the moon,
Clouds escaped his sight
As the night drew closer

And everything was quiet.

No one came to see him,

He could hear a bell,
A crow lay near him,
Farewell, he said. 

He no longer heard the bell,

No longer felt the leaves.

He closed his eyes 

For the final time.

And he was no longer here.

Thank you very much, I wanted to describe his death as something to be admired, as he lived a full life and managed to fall asleep, peacefully.

May we all leave this world in such peace!
