This Body Will Be Ash - Hope Drone

This body will be ash

And every word it spoke

Into the void and nothing

All things resolved

In the quiet

But for this impermanence, there would be no meaning

And I will hold every breath

In the palm of my hands

And will it back into your lungs

That your essence would sustain

This body will be ash

And every fickle quarrel

The essence of all things

Reflected in its opposite

But for this impermanence, there would be no meaning

Born of all that’s come to pass

And all that is written

Every burden carried forth

Each moment only so precious as it is brief

In pain lies the heart of all things

Born of all that’s comes to pass

This fleeting moment is everything

In pain lies the heart of all things

In loss, and absence, and transience

We find ourselves

In pain lies the heart of all things

But for this impermanence, there would be no meaning

Born of all that’s come to pass
