Disappear




Fall to the bottom of the hourglass;

The first grain wedded to the ending of time

Or the leaves on the Poplar Ash;

Die to self, be revived to the rhythm and rhyme


To the silence of all, that of one hand clapping 

I'd await the applause, but am known to be napping

Daydreaming in slumber during the changing of season

The spin of the globe, and the embers of reason


Simply sink in the ocean's depth;

Catching wave after wave, sensing sand in my steps 

Each drift, every dive, until shortness of breath

Whisked away by the wake's most angelic caress 


Just to float in the breeze;

Carried as sediment through the valleys of tree

Then to drift towards the stars,

Out beyond all measure of the near or the far


To be fully at ease, like a soldiers sentiment

Raise a toast, say a speech;

Ladies and gentlemen 

Towards the mountains and cliffs,

Casted into the sea 

Take a bow, sow a seed,

For the finally free.
