Analysis of Ashes of sand
She scattered her husbands ashes
Over oceans and seas
Then waited ten lifetimes for them to sleep
Then travelled the beaches
The whole world through
And felt every footstep mankind could do
Like holding the hand of her husband again
One lost ten lifetimes ago, such pain
A love so pure in connection of brain and heart and sexuality and voice. All the same!
Then listened to the heart beat of god so pure who had grown close enough to hear and adore once more.
And as he walked away again his heart lived on evermore.
