Ode to a Skeleton

Sleeping restfully your flesh has fed
Soil of earthly living
Envied in sinister irony with dread
Bones rewarded in favour by decayed putrefaction
Remembered no more so unforgotten
I assess all vanished length
Sensible skull housed all senses
Accompanying to judgement's Wait
To that ultimate irreversible banishment
Where all remain tearfully confounded
For sweetness or branded punishment
Heralded by dreary dead


Freewill,Fate roundabout as worshippers
Beings still alive dare to acknowledge
Your time and memory as pillars
Cut off,taken away by mortality's pledge
Cast aside peers left behind
In this wounded vault of humanity
I sentimentally belong to a glow
Fleeing your poise yet tragedy
Till when my turn makes me as such
To join thee in buried turf
Incomparable abode,solemn ease
Structure left in pardoned peace
