How will you use my bones

I've left them behind

whether I've forgotten them

or left them on purpose 

is for you to decide

but they're there

buried deep inside of you

not inside any soiled grave

or carved stone tomb

I gifted them to you

before you were born

whether they're a burdened curse

or blessed legacy 

is for you to decide

but they're there 

dancing deep inside

they can build ladders 

on which you can climb

to other times beyond plagues

they can be planted and grow forests

in which you can lose yourself in

away from disillusionment and tyrants

they can be used to beat drums

to revive the heartbeat inside this world

that is fading from all of our ears

they can build bridges that were always there

but just were hidden in a fog of difference 

they can be struck and ignite

and burn so very hot within

until they engulf not only you but it all

they can do most anything 

as they came from everyone that came before

but how you will use my bones

is for you to decide
