Hollow Bones

The day I pass away into eternity
nothing will be left of my corpse
but shallow hollowed bones
I was born out of the dust and sand 
at death I shall return 
No point of draping my empty corpse 
with cloth and jewels
of the earthly flesh
all because there will be nothing left of my corpse
but shattered hollowed bones 
hidden beneath the sea
