The Stone

Overgrown grasses,

Weeds and traces

A feast for maggots,

Lays down, staring into the distant nothing


Black robe that blinds its view,

Dreams of a distant star-spattered night

Something that illuminates,

Anything that emulates life


Flowers that grow unhindered,

Framing and fencing this graveyard of hope

A future that can hardly fathom,

The void of this tiny physical existence


This timeless war against time,

The hope and endless trials

To paint history with the hues of this subject,

As Earth closes in on this weary warrior


Does life only have meaning

if you can find its remnants

Long after the farewell?


Is it not okay to be content,

for all the seconds and minutes

that defined this unfinished song?
