Fade Away with Light

by Just Jade   May 10, 2007


As I walk towards the gathered group,
I hear tears of sadness and grief.
I see them stare at the tiny coffin,
And watch a familiar face but only brief.

A man holds a pure white box,
And slowly holds it high.
Colorful, pretty butterflies,
Fly towards the sky.

The coffin begins to lower.
The tears begin to flow.
I seem a little distant.
My pace begins to slow.

As people begin to leave,
The gravestone comes to sight,
My name rests upon it.
I fade away with the light.
