Dang. This is good. Really good.

Good. Brings across the feeling of dying, but for a good cause - a good woman.

Great poem! Interesting take on the death scene...I love the imagery of this piece; it's beautiful and evokes a stunning mental image, particularly the description of the pedestal and the sun...I love it. I also like that in this death is cold...is that also backed in some mythological reference? ;)
