Strawberry Delight

Fill up my grave with shards of stone
and do not let it be thought,
that any joy in life I've known
except for what I wrought.

I don't deserve this quiet glade
nor its forgiving stillness.
I am weary. Too long I've stayed:
Life is but an illness.

Cradle me with a tender hug
and let me sleep forever.
With a ferocious final tug
these mortal bonds I'll sever.

Mmmm....nice. Makes me think of autumn, emptiness, sadness. It's haunting and leaves an impression.
