Scatter My Ashes

Contributed by navydocny on Friday, 3rd July 2009 @ 08:10:44 AM in AEST
Topic: LostLove



Scatter the ashes, I need them no more
Left not but life, which I’ve come to abhor
All there is left, the earth’s left to claim
Cold embrace, of ground whence we came

What there was then, now not shall be
Dreams become ashes, now scattered at sea
Wind ferries awing to the ocean’s calm
It carries those hopes with empty aplomb

Need and want, nor worry no more
Only ashes are left of all I cared for
Who she was and what it meant to me
Sinks slowly to rest at the bottom of the sea

Perhaps one day, they will come back to land
My dreams become a castle built in the sand
Built with the innocence of children at play
Till again it is time to be washed away

Sighhhhh this is beautiful in its sadness.
Flowing like the ocean waves brushing the shore. I hope that you are ok?
Are you back in the States again or still gone?
Happy 4th! Thanks you for what you are doing for us all!

Super hugssssss
Michelle

I loved this. Awesome write. I find that since I am challenged in the rhyming arena, I tend to be more fascinated with works like this.

Truly amazing poem! It describes the cycle of life and death quite precisely with beautiful word choice. It also reminds me of something Poe might write. Flashes of "Annabel Lee" pop into my mind. I love that poem. Thank you for sharing such an amazing piece of writing!
