Do Not Go Silently


Do not go silently into the night

But rejoice when the sun sets

For there is a new morning

 

Do not walk quietly into the dark

But meet it in the west

Look and be ready for it comes closer by the moment 

 

Do not move mutely into the black

But cry out for its arrival 

For the black is only temporary 

 

Do not go silently into the night

For the night is nothing to fear.
