“IT’S BACK TO ASHES AND DUST”

Post by James Thomas »

Trust this
You can never let your shoes outgrow you
All will tear
But leather never crumbles
Eventually the body
Begins to deteriorate and rust
So we know now
It’s back to Ashes and Dust

No one knows
Where we go
No one know
What happens when our clock ends
That last tick
That last breath
Where do we go
We don’t know
What happens in the end
As we grow old
And our bodies began to rust
We know now
When we pass on it’s back to Ashes and Dust

“?”
Has anyone ever experienced or seen the non-living side of life, perhaps in a coma or something?

Have you ever heard from someone else who has? If so, what did they tell you? Care to comment.

I am curious!

Wonderful lines and according to stats every person who has ever been in coma seen almost the same things. And it's very polite to write such lines in memory of those who was 'there'.

I'm also curious! Do tell people. I think this poem is very deep. I struggled to understand the first paragraph though.

Bury your dictionaries
