Dust to Dust

My body

bears

these symbols

 

Vast and yet,

Unknown

 

Yin

 

Lady Moon

thy

Ocean Tides

 

With out

Darkness

 

There isn't

Light

 

Ankh

 

Our Eternal

 

Life

 

My Soul

 

Buried

within

Flesh

 

 

...Ashes to Ashes...

 

 

Snake

coiled around

Skin

 

Protector

 

God of sweet

Salvation.

 

Come to me.

 

I bear these

Markings

 

Engraved

with Ink

 

Imprinted

 

In my Spirit

 

 

...Dust to Dust...

It's interesting when a symbol becomes mere decoration to those who bypass the meaning simply bear a cool looking design... one thinks of tattoos, medallions, and the like. Nicely written, it makes one think...

It has visual power also. Accurate words triggered a random fast paced images as I read it. Wonderful.

it's all about the word play! Jason Mraz has a song called word play, you should check it out! It's as awesome as this poem ;)
