Dissipation

Dissipation

An echo
A ripple in the pond 
A vibration
Of a distant time

Dissolving
Decaying
Delaying
Disintegrating

Trying to shield the erosion
As with all that is
And all that will be-
Only exists right now

Losing focus
Staring at everything at once
Slowing time
Giving in to the resolve

Fade to light
The long night
A quiet riot
Without delight
