Ashes By A Tree
They poured his ashes by a tree
so he could grow in roots
Now he lives infinitely
because of their salutes
They poured her ashes by a tree
so she could grow in barks
Now she lives limitlessly
because of their embarks
They poured his ashes by a tree
so he could grow in limbs
Now he lives forevermore
because of their faith rims
They poured her ashes by a tree
so she could grow in saps
Now she lives persistently
because of their good taps
They poured his ashes by a tree
so he could grow in twigs
Now he lives incessantly
because of their intrigues
They poured her ashes by a tree
so she could grow in leafs
Now she lives eternally
because of their beliefs
