Pieces

Is this
All we expect to feel

Silence falls with one final stroke
The timepiece stilled as the battery dies

A broken compass now laid to rest
Mummified on the mantlepiece of memories

Is it fair to claim hurt
When I've spoken as many lies as I've heard

Sandcastles made with laughter by the seashore
Dismantled under a wave of blue strength

In the moment our created purpose ceases
Is all that is
To be seen
Death

Our legacy
What we failed to accomplish
Filled
With breath
