“To the well organised mind, death is but the next great adventure”
Harry potter and the philosophers stone

Has chosen this literary quote and here is my response to it.
When daylight dims and shadows softly rise,
And mortal breath grows thin within the chest,
A hush descends beneath the paling skies,
Inviting weary hearts to gentle rest.
No tyrant he, though feared in mortal lore—
Death walks with patience, neither swift nor slow;
He waits beside the ever-creaking door
That all must cross when tides of being flow.
Yet in his gaze, a tenderness is found,
A promise whispered through the failing light:
That life, though brief, leaves echoes all around
To guide the lost through never-ending night.
So greet him not with terror, nor with rage,
For Death but turns the frail and fleeting page.
