The ashes we leave
Distant memories
Glowing embers all that remain
Scattered by the breeze.

I hope in death you find peace
Overcome with grief
Pray for those no longer here
Enamoured deceased

Your warmth -your heat
Lost to me now - forevermore!
Your kiss - your caress
Was a feast - of the flesh

Dust to dust
Ashe to ash
My soul is filled with sorrow
Dust to dust
Ash to ash
Scattered petals fall on your grave.

Your face - fading now
A loss - from my memories
A broken heart - no longer whole
A broken man stands before you.
