Darkness and Dust

Darkness beckons, rustling with the night,

Soothingly it soothes, like a symphony;

Dusts we are, moulded in the light;

Immortality is far, yet it comes like an harmony..

When the music of nature resonates at its youth;

The inevitable clicks  with every full moon,

Forgetfulness knocks heavily till the time cease and mute,

Dust as we are, the end may come soon;

The squares are full of spirits that are lost;

The gravity clings them to the ground for their deeds,

Darkness played an harmony that made them to dust,

Separated they are, within the dark they feed;

Feeding on the discordant of our society as it grows like blight,

Those on the rock hid away the wind and rain;-

Those two vitalities that brings to town every tiny rays of light,

The inevitable further clicks and all is vanity and vain,

Darkness hovers and gathers to choke the land of its essence,

Decaying and gray, the ground calls harder with its thrust;

The law of cause and effect has now come to sense,

Darkness beckons, soon we turn to dust;
