Tomorrow's light,
Brings another day.

Tears may fall,
And darkness display.

Truth be known,
We're all made of clay.

Hardened by fire,
Glazed by dismay.

One foot in darkness,
The other in grey.

Continuing our journey,
Along life's highway.

Knowing we may again,
Crumble and decay.

Broken and tarnished,
At the final archway.

Like a spent cigarette,
In a polluted ashtray.

Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust they say.
