Weariness

Left with nary a spark of life.

That spark, like that of hope, peace, joy and calm,

Dropped to the heap of ashes of them all.

Its remnants, no longer blithe.

These ashes upon the head

Of the mourner for that which is dead

Are a weightless powder

yet laden the soul with pains heavier and louder.

Just as the beginning, you breathed life in this man

The embers awakened and light shone again

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

But it is YOU who decides when enough is enough!
