I fade unto the shadows,
Leaving behind so much,
So many caring faces,
But as much as they care,
It is not enough,
I am leaving,
Never to see them again,
Such is my fate,
Only a future of pain,

I would like to translate this poem
It is a very moving poem, reminds me of what death would be like 'for the lucky ones', amongst family. But you know what, each person leaves this world as they enter it. Naked and free of possessions, everything is simply borrowed from this world and it returns to its source. There is no end because we live through future generations as our ancestors return to us through them. Love that fades perpetuates itself through others and comes back to us in more ways than we can notice. Thus the gaps of people that vanish are filled by our families, children, friends and so on.
