Default Erosion
Swiftly flowing currents lead to yesterdays.
Eroding today.
Washing away hope and dream.
Leaves come to rest in reflections upon soft endings.
What once was, is no longer.
Brittle crumbles of decomposition.
Each exhale sees time grow short.
Outer scopes of ability slipping into tunnel vision.
Melancholy kisses from the hourglass.
Narrowed radius of a wish as it slips through grips.
Persistence of rationality.
Explain away this pain.
Aching loneliness resolved in ever growing riddle.
Each day a new mask disguising morose.
Masks made of words framed in vacant means.
The artist’s smile so well crafted and designed.
Smiles hung upon blank stares.
A lone picture in an abandoned house.
Hung by rusted nail in moldered wall.
Severing lines webbed in plaster and exposed support.
Frayed, one last wire of connection snaps into an echoing crash.
Nobody hears another shattered moment of time.

Very nice…
simply beautiful man as always
Really feel this one James.
The combination of the photo the words and the music are perfect in coveying the somberness you sought to achieve.
Great art, my friend!
