01

Aging and Death

Silent Sakura

Falling petals,
Gracefully embracing ground,
Life ends in beauty.

02

Aging and Death

The Last Breath

Fading away,
Hopelessly gasping for air,
End comes peacefully.

03

Aging and Death

On the Horizon

Sunsetting sky,
Fading into endless night,
Death awaits us all.

04

Aging and Death

The Eternal Rest

Deep, dreamless sleep,
Laying still, forevermore,
Resting in peace.

Aging and Death

"Autumn Leaves"

Falling, falling,
Red and gold and brown.
My time has come,
As leaves must fall to ground.

06

Aging and Death

"In the Cherry Blossom Grove"

Pink blooms falling,
Dancing in the breeze.
Life is fleeting,
But beauty still weaves.

07

Aging and Death

"The Passing of a Friend"

Goodbye, my friend,
Your laughter echoes still.
Gone from this world,
But your memory never will.
