HEADSTONE

Fri, 09/25/2020 - 23:13 -- Nomad1c

An ice capade of fireworks
one life's just like the other
once complete they cut the cord
then hand you to your mother
.
gather now a life that's ending
protect the stillness
a wind goes rending
one lonely star will fade forever
as words inside my heart untether
.
REMEMBER, there is only one sky
under which we all must die
colors of that night turn red
now we only trust the dead
when witnessing these fallen notions,
(means everything)
we ride the oceans.
.
I'm happy to just sit alone
With sandy beaches as my throne
and largely realize
how small my breath
as life expires these bones of death
.
the moon's reflections
cease being caught
poetic words may bleed in thought
survival ends but once per life
stopping any useless strife
.
what will your HEADSTONE finally say?
.
I want mine to read...
