Ashes
by Cora Windover

*~*~*~*

Sunlight fades to dust
Gone are all the friends we trust
Time happens to the best of us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Moonlight sheds a tear
Another night, another year
Reflecting on your hopes and fears
Ashes to ashes, oh so clear

Winter wind blows cold
Aware that you are growing old
The emerald leaves have turned to gold
Ashes to ashes, warmth to cold

Counting final breaths
Afraid your life was never blessed
Now time runs out and you can rest -
Ashes to ashes, life to death.
