The Shroud

Ashes in the Wind

The Shroud


Echoes down the hallways of time 
spell out stories of you and me 
Letters etched painfully all twist and curl 
and die beneath the flames and fade 
Our memories are like ashes in the wind

Twisting overhead the vines without leaves 
embrace my thoughts of you 
Gathered on stony steps 
we breathe the last whisper of the end in flames 
Our memories are like ashes in the wind
