My Epitaph

My epitaph is but a word
A dot within the human herd
It is an ember of a coal
That makes the crust germane my soul

The earth that will my dust of grime
Was mine to till a certain time
And I did live upon its sand
And touched the essence with my hand

I lived a talisman of life
Danced the music of its fife
Walked upon the souls of dead
And fed the oven of my head

And all the forces given me
Were courses of my mental tea?
Which took apart the arms of why
And looked into the needles eye

It’s there I found the wake of sun
The trinity that makes for one

Mr. T., might I suggest that your single-word epitath be, "Sonneteer". That one word encompasses the very essence of thee. Mind you, please do not be in a hurry to use it!!!!

Loveya,
Angel hugs 'n kisses,
EA
