The Flames of all you were

Your prompt is the phrase: -

"The flames of all you were have burned into the ground."

When I think of this phrase, I think of one of those old funeral pyres, where bodies were burned after death. Therefore I would like to read poems that convey that - so you have attended or are attending one of those cremations - perhaps for a loved one or a partner or spouse. Perhaps you are the only one left when the others have gone and you are thinking about that person...

Sad and beautiful.

Good luck everyone.
