It's a solemn sun that sets
on your final day.
To lay forever un-awoken.
the last leaf having fallen,
a final breath spoken.
But anyway,
the suns heat remains
in photographs with
dusty frames.
The sun was there,
it will be again.
Just in a different body;
with a different name.
Fallen ashes in the wind
and rain.
But it's all a reminder
that there once was
a flame.
A solemn way that sets up
a brighter day.
For the new awoken.
As the sapling grows,
the chain; still unbroken.
For my late Grandmother and for my niece.
