Strewn/Adrift from Grievous by Convulsing

these final hours
ending restless years

in a moment i am gone
tossed against the stones
shattering, like stained glass
into fragments of the whole
carried beyond this hopeless void
merging with the earth

silent soil, dead as dreams
waits, patient, to claim the past
stolen remnants of the lost
but i am gone, shifted into shape unknown

broken vows echo
black
i am changed into another
empty shell is burned
ashes strewn, adrift
for ever

former is lost now
there can be no return
cast the self into inferno
i emerge cleansed by the flame

witness what i have become
disparate shade
passing through the firmament
particles swept on by a solar wind
dreaming
in universal expanse
