Ashes to Ashes, a poem for FIN2
Ashes to Ashes is a very brief poem written for FIN2. I was struggling with my own grief right along with Gabrielle. Partly for her, partly for myself. Watching a friendship die is a hard thing to do. Especially when that friend meant everything to you for a very long time.
Ashes to Ashes
Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
as they did this to you
so did they to us
now all the king's men
and all the king's horses
never can bring back
these stars to their courses.
I promised my love
I never would roam
but how can I stray
when I haven't a home
now the fire's all done burning
and the iron's turned to rust
what use all that learning
and yearning to trust?
