Forgot

Sometimes things burn brightly for a time but are not meant to be permanent fixtures. Some are shooting stars and are not meant to be forever.


Enveloped in elder mystery

Vanished in the mist

Echoed out of centuries

Lost in all of this


Cataclysmic warmth

Celestial back and forth

Parry and riposte

Rivers running through it


Eroded egos congregate

Fossils at the base of this valley

A canyon carved with symmetry

Making methods to the madness


Chasing after icy tails

Cosmic comet's orbit

Melted in this impact dense

Losing track of destinations


Pantheons of elder gods

I place them by the wayside

For a moment in your sunrise skies

I'm brighter than the sunshine


With your eclipse this solar disk

Loses all sense of borders

Edgeless eternal transcendence

Now burning like the phoenix


We trace legends in these patterns

Constellations now made whole

Stories worth remembrance

Once predicted now come true


Though gravity pulls this apart

And entropy overtakes us

There is no regret here in this heart

And no way I could forget this


Place of true unraveling

Endeavors worth undertaking

An aching forged and then submerged

Steel quenched and now unbreaking


Until with confused tongues we part

Though with our eyes still calling

A shared language somehow missing now

And Babel before us fallen


Enshrouded in faded memories

Temples of passions painted

With no vows or hopes renewed in these

Stones with epithet's now hated


A monolithic ruin

A meaning lost to time

A love prone to undoing

Forsaken but still not


Forgot
