Dust To Dust

A single eye, that is all
The sun is the only one i forgive
As i purvey the bleak expanse
with nothing left to retrieve
Neither hope, nor memory
Neither sin, nor shroud
My loved ones are one with the dust
And the dust is all that fills my being
Now that you too have seen me,
Why do we not share
a word, a breath or a sigh?
Why do we continue to stare,
even when there is nothing left to attract?
You, a spectre
I, something less
The label we tore off,
has found its way back
Mysterious, how the dust of the ages work
However much i try to fathom
It stays one step beyond

There is nothing left to say,
and we stand mute
Let us now walk hand in hand to that horizon
and hope, that for once
All our sins will be forgiven
