Eternal in a moment, faded are the words… That do naught but flash by, like a thought you couldn’t hold on to. Burnt on a screen, floating into memory, a memory of you.

Halos, charred edges, rustling. Is that all that remains?

Where Life gave me nothing, the Universe gave life, and maybe nothing. Such hope and elation in the promises of a faded youth, and may yet to finish in something or everything, and maybe nothing. How gratefully ignorant have you become? How shamefully slothful your mind, how irksome your lack of will!

Lie there proudly in your accomplishments, unwilling to answer to the Truth. And as the Arrows complete their circle, you too have come back to square one. Progress is your illusion, arrogance your downfall. It was always the right call, but you… The worst way possible.

Where have you gone? Words have escaped, silence a new lover. In the darkness of the Sun, the soft glow of hope. A silhouette in the distance, a shade of you, as I hear your departing footsteps with my weary eyes.

Again?
