*** Defying Death Through Courage Poem by James McLain

Through shadows deep and skies aglow,
Where stars in silence ebb and flow,
Time's steady march, a solemn tone,
And death shall claim what's once been known.

Yet courage blooms in hearts so brave,
Defying fate, their spirits crave,
To seize each moment, fierce and wild,
And leave their mark on life's grand aisle.

Infinite dreams, like stars ignite,
A symphony of souls take their final flight,
Beyond the veil, they journey on,
Into the dusk, where fears are gone.

For death, though powerful, can't erase,
The love and light that souls embrace,
In memories woven, strong and bright,
They live, they love, beyond the night.
