Trapped inside sarcophagi
Terrestrial footprints – a fist full of dust
Emblems of glory or Royal lust
Is for the living to adjudge
Ostentatiousness apart
We must surely all depart
In the earth we all must lie
After we bid the world good bye

Beautifully written. Life is indeed fragile, but I do believe that it can get better farther on. Take care, Leonard. Your poetry never disappoints. Always your friend at poemhunter, Sandra
