Traveler's Requiem [Poetry]

Paint the Sky

Paint the sky in flame,

Let it blaze the garnet of red,

As the time burns away,

And nothing will ever be the same.

Drown my fears in a thousand seas,

Turn it as blue as the cold ice of winter,

As I face the future armed with a sabbath past,

And bring the hidden courage forth.

Lay my body to rest on a slate of alabaster,

Dress me in roses upon my pure dress,

As I will be forever enclosed in stone,

And shall end my vision for the long slumber.
