One Life Giving Way To Another

Today I am no longer an innocent the smile gone from my face transformed by a myraid of experiences etched deeply into my furrowed brow a lifetime of realities to blame time is soon running away from me The surging incoming tide bringing with it new life before the receding tide takes a spent life away in exchange the end of life whispers to me "do not overstay your alloted time" The abundance of my life lived behind me now for all eternity eclipsing what little time remaining now sadly lays before me I can see the cracks in the earth's crust formed by the creation of new life My task, filling these cracks with my ashes creating a solid Foundation for all the generations that will follow ironically it seems like only yesterday that I was the new life created our alloted time just seems to fly by sadly everything I have learned in this life my experiences instincts and intuitions will soon crumble away to dust along with me at my demise only to be learned again by those following after me. © The Poetic Dinosaur🦖
