The Sinful Soul

She sinks into the vortex of grief, 
Withering like a maple leaf; 
Wailing, a rose petal, then she dies. 
Last breaths come and go so fast, 
Leaving nothing on Earth; 
Her soul limps into the planet of the sinners, 
Feeling the heat and tasting fires. 
Her soft voice whispers God's name, 
But he turns away and strolls to his throne.
