Death...

A funeral pyre-
Flesh, bones and wood
Only char remains.

O engulfing flame,
You burn to ashes
Bones and spirit.

The death siren blows
On the face of
Its most unsuspecting preys.

The scent of death
Embraces one and all
In the garden of life.

Wood, fire n' tears
Flesh, bones n' ashes
A soul in stir.
