Ashes

Inspired by a short verse about the pheonix I wrote this short verse myself; always wondered whether I should add to it?


 

“Yet there once was that final faltering breath. A mound of ashes betrayed her passage and announced her death.


Millennia memories laid down, not to decay; left undisturbed to dream… and rise another day”

I do not think you need to add to this, Jeff. I think the message, as Dai alludes to, can be inferred. Thank you. Love and peace,

It is always an indeed pleasure to read such fine well written artistic worksuch as this. I admire your strength and ability to put this together so with that said just write on poet.

'Left undisturbed to dream… and rise another day'

Inferrence will do the adding, Jeff.
This line brings closure, yet also opens the way for hope...

A millenia of memories only a small pile of ashes high? Poignant thought.
A short but profound verse.
David
