In shadows cast, the symbol creeps,
A harbinger of darkness, secrets it keeps.
A silhouette, both cold and still,
The symbol of death, its purpose fulfilled.
No words to speak, no breath to take,
It stands as a reminder, life's fragile ache.
A skull grins wide, a skeletal face,
A symbol of mortality, in every place.
Through ancient tales and timeless lore,
It warns of mortality, forevermore.
A reminder to cherish each fleeting breath,
For the symbol of death claims all, till the final step.
Yet in its presence, a lesson to glean,
To embrace each moment, to cherish the scene.
For life's beauty shines, against its cold embrace,
The symbol of death, a reminder of grace.
So let us live with purpose and zest,
For the symbol of death will never rest.
But in its shadow, we find the light,
A symbol of death, a reminder to ignite.
