Ash in my mouth, with broken wings I wonder
On the ground ponder
Why did I
Fly
So close the sun.

For now traveled have I
From the blaze of sun
to the pitch black

Here I build my wings again;
To soar the heavens so so high.
So fellow husks
in the swamp of death.
Remind me brothers;
Don't try to fly to the sun!
again...
I smile for the last time
Mushroom clouds in the sky

I sigh in relief
it is all that i believed

Sunshine on my face
Warmth in my bones

It is finally here;
Atomic fire
I'm trying to figure, when did the first smile die on you face and
I'm sorry that I missed it.

I wonder when does the last do the same or did it already go; how long from that till your heart grows cold and we are both alone.

Even then I hope that under the cold ash does something still ember and we can blow them to a new fire.

Should that fire start it would brighten the days in front and keep us warm in the days of dark.
Really personal that tells a tale of a love slipping.
The Cynic in me buries the optimist and the pessimist side by side, leaving the realist rotting on top.

What a dog I've become.

A hound to howl against hope; an advocatus diaboli for nil and all, but that's what I've become... that's what I am.
Tho all we are all made from stardust, drifting through eons and life's.

It is your radiance shines to me like a blazing star piercing through the dust of tomorrow - the slow malicious dust that covers us in the distance of today.

I would run through the mist only to see you smile, but I won't for i could not assemble the shards it would shatter from the cruel now.

Yet i still long for your glistening shine and build a shrine in my heart so it will beacon us to union in wonders that be beyond the dust of tomorrow
Nothing can sooth the demons inside me, for I am the devil inside.
With my will the ill wind will blow where ever it goes.
Enemies, friend, strangers will be gone. I shall remain.
For my will will not let me go, in good nor evil.
Pulvis et umbra summus.

Omnis mundi mortalis est, temporis crescit
Latin, translation: Title Remember death.
We are ash and shadows.

The world is mortal, time goes on.
