Obituary

Dusk to dawn and dawn to dusk
Turns carbon chassis into withered husk

Faded breaths fade from memory
Must this be our destiny?

Time may yet erode the flesh and bone
But lifeless words lives on in slabs of stone

Well, this is my 13th poem, so I thought something grim would be the most appropriate subject matter ;) Thanks!

Congrats on a fine poem. p.s. only one R in 'obituary'.
