when Butterflies Dream of Tomorrow

ashes to ashes

ashes to ashes

(a collaboration with MysteriousDryad)

A single leaf falls

a tear released

is this the end?

.

the rustle sound we hear at night

is not the movement of the leaves

its mother nature's thieves at work

and the gentle wail of the trees

.

Is he near

coming to end me?

I'm not ready

.

naked and exposed, too early

for autumn's cold is far away

is this a freak of mother nature

of the dawning of a new day

.

Take me now

for I cannot escape

get it over with

.

no water to offer nourishment

the roots shrivel and die

the branches dry, turn brittle

and scorch under burning skies

.

I accept my fate

it is the end

time to join the stars

.

ashes to ashes, dust to dust

black clouds cover the sky of blue

as in the beginning, we are once again

time for Earth to start anew
