A second of life

Alive without breath

As cold as death

A heart like a stone

Never felt alone

She never felt alone

No feelings inside

Her lips never lied

No worries in mind

Not one of the kind

She was not one of the kind

She can’t be seen

Can’t be felt

Can’t be heard

Can’t be smelt

Never said any word

Flew away like a bird

Just a second of life

Until her time arrived

She left this world

Took her flight

Towards the rays of light

She cast warm sand

Over deep rivers

And withered land

She held my hand

My eyes grew dim

We watch death walk in

Where will she go?

Hang your prayers in the winds of the night
