A daydream

As he lay upon

a pool of ashes

Stillness around

from within his

mind, the echoes

of memories holding

dear to his heart,

while the reality

molds around

a pool of ashes,

clouds disperse

slowly as the color

of life returns

to his otherwise

lifeless body

annotated as

a thought arises

his mind was free

but the body is

trapped in reality,

he raises from

a pool of ashes

the dust falling

past regrets

takes the first step

revitalized

clear mind

produces a reality

that his life

born from

a pool of ashes

brings about

new beginning

an afterlife

where the soul

free of oppressive

thoughts

plants a seed

no longer

blinded

by the reality

succumb to

destruction

he watches

as the flower grows

the time it will take

to blossom is imaginable

bearing the fruit

of ones soul.
