Burning On
Life
So treasured and valued
Yet so quickly gone
How can it be
That our everything
Ends to nothing
I refuse to believe
That when my time comes
I will just leave this place
Like a passing storm
I will not allow
My footsteps on the sand
To be washed away
And replaced the next day
No
You will remember me
I will carve
Through your heart
Like a river
Running to the sea
I will dot
Your soul
Like a brand new snowfall
Covering a cavern hole
I will burn my image
Across your eyes
Like a star
In the dark night sky
I will take your breath
With the words I write
As my pages of ink
Stay forever in your life
One day
My time will be done
As my body grows
As cold as stone
But the memories of my life
Will never die
As they burn on through
And spread the fire
Of my life
