In silken shadows where the cold light fades,
A soul departs, too soon from earth's embrace,
With sorrowed hearts, we tread these twilight glades,
And mourn the friend who leaves an empty space.
The laughter shared now echoes faint and far,
Like whispers lost upon the evening breeze,
No longer shines their light, our guiding star,
Their absence leaves us lonely 'neath the trees.
Yet in our hearts, their memory endures,
A beacon bright against the darkest night,
Their spirit lives in moments pure and sure,
In every tear, a testament of light.
Though grief may weigh, and time may heal our pains,
Our love for them in heart and soul remains.
