To the end

#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo Day 13

Book cover for C. Lockhart-Gordon. To the End.

Old bones hold memories
Crumbling in the dust
Ivory turns to decay when
The lark has flown away
Dispersing the melody
Once resonating in the nest
Now empty, dusty, creaky
Recollections lie scattered
Broken, sunburnt, and weary

Poetry inspired by the book cover for C. Lockhart-Gordon. To the End. London: John F. Shaw and Co., 1898[?] — Source.

It’s all the same

#DarkLines prompt – doorway to the end

He did not want to walk through
The doorway to the end
He held my hands, pleading for time
But he had to let go!
Old man, I whispered, years later
Nothing’s changed – still no Utopia
We have a war, a recession
False prophets, greedy men
The plague and climate change
We haven’t learned – it’s all the same!
