Scatter My Ashes Date: Friday, 3rd July 2009 @ 08:10:44 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: navydocny 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 This poem is Copyright © navydocny Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
