Casket

A bright glimpse of one’s previous self,

Lukewarm air escapes a hollow chest,

Misty eyes wander the expansive void,

Immaculate form of what lies beneath,

Truly humbling and persuasive of the mind.

A doll painted face I once knew,

Glimpses of a time in yesterdays,

Candle lit spectacle of morbidity,

Summers day that smells of life,

Deep rich earthiness, swallows an old soul.
