Take a bit of time to think about what has gone by,
Was it all worth the trouble of pretending happiness,
This substance is more fluent than time itself,
Buried deep within a bundle of common care,
A fluent piece of time that will stay with you for a time,
Left forgotten,
Not of a very heavy weight in general,
Everything was the creation of this rock I speak of,
I fail to see where this will lead us,
In the future of gravedigging,
Nice and gold orange, warm to the touch,
I love this pearl with my heart and soul.

I've seen where a person's remains/ashes can be put into a colorful ball. I don't really know how to feel about that...an ornament? Where might it end up?
