Falling into place


And so it fell apart,
The song, the words, the essence.
It blew away with the wind,
To sometime
To someplace,
That we will never reach.

And so it fell apart,
Like a castle, or tunnel, or mountain.
It washed away with the sea,
Dissolving
In some infinity,
That we will never understand.

And so it fell apart,
The world and bits of our hearts.
They crumbled to the earth,
Falling,
So slowly,
That we will never catch them.

And so it fell apart,
Like the petals of a dry flower.
It crushed into coloured dust,
Settling,
Into a form,
That we will never find. 


And so it fell apart,
The story and its meaning,
It disintegrated in the soil,
Washed
And bare-
What we will never see. 

And so it fell apart,
Like a memory or an ancient relic.
Its edges diffused in space,
Disappearing,
To some universe,
That we were no longer part of.
