Ashes in the Dust

 



Ashes in the Dust

 

The Sun long lost its luster

A cold and faded yellow orb.

 

Mornings creep too soon

Bearing witness to the dark

 

Words crumble in the mist

And quickly float away.

 

Bleak trees dot my forest now

Crumbled bark and shadows.

 

Dog eared calendars

Witness times long lost.

 

Meanings dried and cracked

Wander with my ghosts

 

I skirt the edge of joy 

Leaving laughter slain.

 

A world that I once knew

Mere ashes in the dust.
