Ashes, Oh Ashes

Just For Fun Ashes, oh ashes
What were you before?
The flames came a-knocking
And burned down your door!
While dancing and singing
In raptured ascent
Your memories of life
Have all but been spent!
Ashes, oh ashes
And dusty dust
Were you a vehicle
Given to rust?
Perhaps once an instrument
Known well to sing?
Death gave you beauty
Where is it's sting?
Ashes, oh ashes
You've made such a mess!
You're on everything, everywhere
That you could access!
Had I known that you'd make
This place look like snow
I would not have made you
In this chateaux
Ashes, oh ashes
How you do inspire
Myself yet to build
Another fire
Though I hope that this time
You won't land on my face
Or leave your mark
ALL OVER THE PLACE!

I adored this.
"Death gave you beauty" that line resonates with me so much right now.
Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts.
