April Poetry Challenge 2021: Day Twenty-Six

 


Day 26 Prompt: (Blank) World

Form: Trimeric


“Nothing in this World Lasts Forever”


A minute, a second, a lifetime,

all find the ragged edge of ending.

Nothing resists decay forever,

not even our love.


All find the ragged edge of ending.

Even our initials carved into a park bench

read by strangers stopping for a moment.


Nothing resists decay forever.

Letters crumble, photos fade,

technology crashes into the void.


Not even our love

will be remembered past

the stories we tell our children.
