Death Not Ends Us

Beneath the stone  
Clasping flowers 
Wilted Decay
Tomb encased 
Dirt porthole
Release my soul 
From this host
With which I lay

Subdued by this
Path of time
Pure 
Cleansed 
Soul
Eternal light
Burden shoulders
Replaced
With wings
I take flight

Death 
Revealed
Illusion 
Bury me 
Into the darkness
Bury me 
Into the light
Bury me 
The beginning
Of my eternal 
Life….
