See You on the Other Side
The river hums in solemn tone,
A threshold carved in ancient stone.
Beyond its veil, the echoes call,
Soft voices lost to shadow’s thrall.
The boatman waits with hollow eyes,
No need for gold—no need for lies.
The tide obeys, the current guides,
No turning back, no space to hide.
A final breath, a parting glance,
A dance with fate—our last romance.
No fear remains, no tears abide,
I’ll see you on the other side.
A threshold carved in ancient stone.
Beyond its veil, the echoes call,
Soft voices lost to shadow’s thrall.
The boatman waits with hollow eyes,
No need for gold—no need for lies.
The tide obeys, the current guides,
No turning back, no space to hide.
A final breath, a parting glance,
A dance with fate—our last romance.
No fear remains, no tears abide,
I’ll see you on the other side.
