Cinders and
Ashes

A titan falls,
Not a sound is heard.
A world forever changed,
My vision blurred.

One final cinder,
The fire slowly fades.
Dark encroaches in,
Empty shell remains.

A stunning sea,
Now a silent ocean.
A hope wilted and frail,
Finally broken.

Time marches fast,
Grateful, I count my days.
For that final cinder,
May give spark to a blaze.

A harsh mentor,
Cruel some might say.
Oh how I fear,
That fleeting summer day.
