Unclasp Soul
Eyes never released
Longing to behold
Those leaving
Behind nothing
Last bit of sand poured out of the hourglass
Short length
Love light laughter
Gone
Wrung out
Twisted
Dry sponge
Bubbles now crust
Curled and empty
Fists clenched
Lids shut
Just Dark
Life so vivid in color and detail
Black and white
Texture
Non-existent
Summer and Spring
Winter’s despair
No air
Fill the sea
The vase
The face
Cup chipped and cracked
Let the bird fly
Soak Sun
Dazzle Stars
Flash it’s brilliance
Create Morning
Before the stripping black hole
Breaks it’s strings
