Demise

Just to see the drawing of yours,

 

Of yours, for what it means

 

Can stand for everything beyond

 

The outstretched hand offered now

 

Before the Sun.

 

Just to see the baby of you,

 

Of you, for what you are

 

Can be bought by the power

 

Of powdered trees and refined ore

 

Beneath the Sun.

 

Just to see the baby of you,

 

Of you, for what you need

 

Can easily be sadly missed

 

With the increased weight

 

Beside the Sun.

 

Just to see the demise of you,

 

Of you, for what may be

 

Can be a lifetime coming

 

And a heartbeat passing

 

‘Neath the Sun.

 

Just to bear the cross of you,

 

Of you, for where it stands

 

Represents a fire of love

 

Burnt from ashes of you

 

In the Sun.
