Examine the tangible
The gifts of life
The meaningful and meaningless
As we learn
To love and share laughter
And grief
In the blink of an eye
The tears drip from the cheek
And fall to the floor
Soundless
Shapeless
As all the candles
Have been extinguished
As the waters freeze over
And the ruins become ancient
We will wander through
Our dreams made of time
Here, they stand before us
The marble passageways
That will lead us to life
To play a funeral dirge
To dance among the ancient fires
To cast away the fallen
Into the arms of the heavens
