Ashes

Carmine Branco

Time has cancelled 

all the things

that mattered.

It foresakens 

the living and 

melts away the flesh

on the bones 

that once bared

the souls of those 

departed forever more.

Thus their ashes 

are dispersed

over the lands

they walked,

making fertile 

the soil that 

fed their offsprings 

as they grew and aged, 

forgotten by those 

who follow, 

lost forever

on life's queue 

no more.
