Materials

We are not made of clay, nor of dust

You are from marble, strong

Standing the winds of time,

Cold, harsh, proud, glistening

In the dark shades, covered

With ancient grass, standing alone

Admired for your unchanged beauty.

I`m made of amber,

Soft, reflecting peaceful light,

Containing all memories 

Inside my transparent skin –

They are seen as insects and flowers.

I`m made of light and forgiveness,

Still shy, thoughtful, deep,

Turning to passing days

My world is now eternity.

You are made of timeless pain,

Your eyes remember every sight

Of earth, you wont forget

But your heart is now marble.

And your smile is carved so

Carefully, smile of the past love,

Remaining still, frozen in space.
