Remaining in Ashes

There is something to be said for being forever

That you will exist when my flesh is bone and dust

When my legacy is naught but stony word

You will remain

 

When no traces of my tears do show

To water the dry earth

To know that you will forever cry in my stead

There is something to be said

 

And there is something to be said in knowing

That your memory of me will never end

And in your memory I am sheltered

I will remain: an ash amongst the ashes
