Falling Seconds

The Lady of Consequence

has gone,

leaving the array of ores

suspended in air,

Grains of earth,

Falling seconds,

Their weight melts

into the chaos,

Leaving only their spirits

to dance on mortality,

Dust on the olive branches,

Falling seconds,

A wall of embers between us,

The almighty watching us,

Above us,

No longer with us,

Leaving us

to walk along the flames of sins,

Ashes reflect in our eyes

harmonizing with our horror,

Drifting down

to the bones,

Layers of grey,

Fallen seconds.
