Ashes
Life,
full of bellows of winds
Churning our good deeds and sins
Here for a slight second
Then off to eternal bed beckoned
Shadows dancing in winds all around
Blocks sun shining from reaching the ground
Only to dance a tango with death
Then no more time in days calender left
Fleeting memories life's solomn core
Never been and to be no more
Ashes and dust
Is what's becomes of us

Life's seconds to solence
