fiery remains sparkling in petals
Spars to coals they burst and settle
Flames lick along the shattered bulk
The burning times left a cindered hulk

breathe in the tatters of the wounded sails
hold my spine in my heart as it slowly fails
spread my wings last time to the sun
remember the waves laughing on the run

all good things will come to an end
leaves in fall leave the bones of the tree
time is the enemy of my enemy
even still - its no friend
