R.I.P

In shadows deep, where silence mourns,

A chilling tale, as night adorns.

How many souls 'neath soil reside,

In earth's embrace, where secrets hide?

No tally kept, in graves unknown,

A macabre dance, a somber tone.

The ground, a keeper of the past,

Whispers linger, a ghostly cast.

Yet, let us seek a brighter song,

For life persists, and hope is strong.

In every step, a chance to find,

The beauty in the ties that bind.
