Watch the world spin away
We are what remains
We were the last few it seems
Just a final congregation
Burning up purples and greens
In a thinning atmosphere
The genome unravels
The world is as it was
We, the traces that remain
Slowly breaking down
We spiral towards the light
Our base selves cast out
Who we are at the core of us
Returns once more to our mother
The Fire that birthed
The Chaos that bled
Our elements once cast
Flowing back on vacuums currents
We become no longer 'we'
Merely a ghost breeze
Not real a background
To the background and we fall
To completion
And we return
To the end.
To the beginning.

The first two poems FYI in this trilogy of poems are 'We Fall' and 'We Sit' in that order

A fitting discription to the return to a dust from which we came and retaking our place in the universe. If it was supposed to be a dire prediction it did not come across that way to me. It was more like telling the flow of a river.
Way to go Walter!

PS
In my lazy opinion it'd be great to see all three poems together in 1 post.

I really enjoyed this, though I havn't as yet read the first two parts of thr trilogy. Part of me has always believed this earth we've betrayed as a race would reclaim a perfect natural balance once we humans destroyed ourselves. I found this reminiscent of that.

This one is my favourite, simple yet full of meaning.
