Ashes and Souls

By Aurora_Light

Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust
Death has come, as it Must
Life is fading, as Day turns to Dusk
Love is strong, Pray that it lasts
Distance is painful, not Speaking is worse
Friends try their best, All fail in the end

Spirit to spirit, Soul to Soul
Friends come, and many leave
New friends come, yet are far away
They all have a problem, I wish I could help
Will they all fade, as others have?
Will I forever be lonely and sad?

Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust
Death has come, as it Must
Life is fading, as Day turns to Dusk
Spirit to spirit, Soul to Soul
Wind scatters the ashes as it blows and blows
Tears and blood mingle and mix
Forming a creature half pure and half dark

Ashes, Dust, Spirits, Souls
Death, Life, Day, Dusk

Thoughts running astray in the mind of Aurora Light

Don't take this the wrong way, this had a feeling of a teenager someone still finding their way through the early stages of life, made me reminiscent of my high school years...

Once again you have out done yourself. Good job. Never stop writing, and never let anyone else stop you. Includeing the ones you hold close.
