Embers fleeting
---relentless sweep of time---
sparks in the expanse
our lives, brief segments,
rocket sections discarded:
a single cell in the grand coil
a cog within the wheel
a fleeting breath
bound to the rhythm of birth and death
ephemeral flame
lighthouse swallowed by fog
moth on the flame's edge
each life a note in humanity's song
a dance of light and shadow
every step oblivion
a price to pay
I paid the price
---relentless sweep of time---
