Fly Gone By

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?
