The Dying Light

Life and memories, forgetting what we once knew.

The Dying Light has passed on,

remembering its kin as if in a fugue.

Slowly losing the precious memories,

of all it had once known.

It moves to and fro in search of new memories but cannot sustain them.

The Dying Light starts to forget

as soon as it learns, but it yet

goes on in hopeless vain, waiting.

The Dying Light shines upon everyone,

but immediately evaporates like stars during dawn.

Suddenly it begins to wither, slowly

disappearing by the minute in cascades of

dimming sparks of pure white light.
