Forgotten
Death stalks the streets of passing time
Acting out a silent, greedy mime
By taking young and old alike
With a sudden or lingered fatal strike
Buried; the earth swallows up the flesh
And darkness eternally becomes enmeshed
With bones faded dully white
Like the glowing of an eerie light
T’s when forgotten whom they were
That ethereal ghost’s begin to stir
Returning to haunt and visibly pursue
Life as a spirit, wanting homage anew
With muted glow and smoky depths
They roam through flight and repeated steps
And shout with sighs or a screeching moan
To be remembered, to be re-known
Death stalks the streets of passing time
Acting out a silent, greedy mime
By taking young and old alike
With a sudden or lingered fatal strike
Buried; the earth swallows up the flesh
And darkness eternally becomes enmeshed
With bones faded dully white
Like the glowing of an eerie light
T’s when forgotten whom they were
That ethereal ghost’s begin to stir
Returning to haunt and visibly pursue
Life as a spirit, wanting homage anew
With muted glow and smoky depths
They roam through flight and repeated steps
And shout with sighs or a screeching moan
To be remembered, to be re-known
