"Moonlit Passage" is a contemplative poem that uses the moon as an analogy for death, portraying it as a serene and inevitable part of life. The poem describes death's presence as gentle and constant, much like the moon's phases in the night sky. It reflects on the natural progression of life and the acceptance of death, suggesting that, like the moon, death is not to be feared but embraced as a peaceful guide. Through its waxing and waning, the moon symbolizes the cyclical nature of existence, offering solace and a sense of continuity beyond our mortal lives.
