The Salute of An Adored
Lifeless was where he lay
For he was in a state filled with dismay
His hands were stretched so straight
Lying there with no motion or effort to budge
While his legs where open
Forming a flipped V-shape
His head was buried in the sand
Close to the mother he was once with
Embracing it so hard that it couldn't stand
But to cry and embrace him too
Taking him into her arms and never letting go
For she can never stand to let him go again
His eyes were shut so peacefully
His smile glued to his face
As he shaped something so mighty and powerful with his body
A snow angel so pure
Cleared from any sin
That man died leaving a lovely image
Indicating how a person's life is so valuable
Even if bad times come along leaving a trace
Yet enjoyment and happiness wipe them away
And as he left his beloved and his adored,
A salute was gifted to everyone
By the smile upheld on his face
Leaving an image of peace and happiness
Evacuating the sadness his loved and adored would feel
By simply seeing him lying there so peacefully filled with joy
People are nothing but dust, yet the traces they leave are treasures never lost...
