We were scattered across the globe like ashes. Every muscle, every joint, every bone and vessel dissolved into a heap of powder small enough to hold in your palm And we threw ourselves to the wind to be blown all over the world Eventually, we will grow old together deep down in the soil and in between layers of sand and rock. Our fingers will turn into root and once again intertwine. But for now we are particles of the earth, lost to each other and ourselves Ashes.

Pulvis et umbra sumus
We were scattered across the globe like ashes. Every muscle, every joint, every bone and vessel dissolved into a heap of powder small enough to hold in your palm And we threw ourselves to the wind to be blown all over the world Eventually, we will grow old together deep down in the soil and in between layers of sand and rock. Our fingers will turn into root and once again intertwine. But for now we are particles of the earth, lost to each other and ourselves Ashes.
