Ashes

I wrote this for holocaust class so like think of a kid at a camp okies then you might get it.

Ashes

It falls from the sky
Like thick black snow
It covers everything
Caught on my lashes

But I do not shout for joy
For there is none here
Instead I stand silent
Mourning the dead which
Of whom fall from the sky

It falls ever silent
Like a nice winters snow
But it does not gleam brilliantly
Only black smudges show

These ashes now
The only proof
Of the people that came before me

The wind blows
The ashes settle
Never again
There caught on my lashes
