Leftover

That man was what the stories told of,
Of bringing this world into purpose,
Of putting to rest this bizarre series of events
That rolled meaningless down the mountain for so long.

This was the man
That delved his finger into the air around
And felt a space between each wind
Blowing through the tiny crevices of a sphere.

Yet this was the one who came in the paper
His name written on a scheduled Sunday morning
Marked on a numbered box, year after year
Which all the frightened people resolve
To remember every time.

And still everyone sits, together in the aisles,
Leftover souls with a diminished idol
Back in the chaos of this landslide of moments
Without a remembrance of what any of it means.

I'm not really sure I understand the meaning of this poem. I like it and it reads easily, but I am not sure if it is about a funeral where somebody dies or what. I hope you are able to make your poems a little more clear on just what point they are trying to make because you write well - I just don't understand this one. Then again, I have 12 minutes before it is midnight and bedtime and it could just be me. lol
