keepsake 23

in darkness only to see the light shines brighter now

stripped from the life long before your time

sands of time slowly blown away

innocence is laid to rest

ashes smolder ashes from the fire that once charred life

life is laid to rest

ashes smolder from the fire that once charred life

sleep eternal sleep

rest eternally

arctic winds solidify

as purity now torn

silent never to sleep again

silent

sleep eternal sleep

memories turn into sleepless nights

soaked with sweat

gasp for air

pain swept away by darkness

clouds blacken the sky as rain falls

forevermore

as body lies in darkness

soul walks among eternity

behold salvation from humanity

unbound by earthly insanity.
