Go gently

Do not go gentle into that good night. Or do and slip away--caressed by cool release. Without a ripple, slip beneath the quiet waters. How futile to fight the dying of the light! The earth will turn and soon you matter not at all. Rage not Achilles-- for gods, nor men, nor efforts they employ may stop the ceaseless march of time and inevitable decay.
