Examine the tangible the gifts of life
The meaningful and meaningless
As we learn to love and share laughter
And grief in the blink of an eye
The tears drip from the cheek and fall to the floor
Soundless shapeless as all the candles have been extinguished
As the waters freeze over and the ruins become ancient
We will wander through our dreams made of time
Here, they stand before us the marble passageways that will lead us to life
To play a funeral dirge to dance among the ancient fires
To cast away the fallen into the arms of the heavens
