Ashes
August 11, 2011
Ashes
Falling from the sky
Rain drops meant to be clear
Dark as the night
Trees
Laying across the tar
Should be tall and strong, now
Desecrating the landscape
Animals
Extinction has never been more accurate a term
Should be roaming free
Disappeared only skeletons remain
Bones
Splintered and charred
Broken from it all
The only remnant of past life
People
We'd like to believe that we're forever
We aren't
We die, we disappear, but we still try to leave our mark
Earth
The mark.
The one thing guaranteed to out last us.
