Natural Conclusion
At some moment we are untethered
lingering habits yield temporary comforts
nothing keeps us from
going, going, gone.
Procrastination abrades our skin
until one scratch finally scars
we can no longer pretend
to be impenetrable.
We are tough until we wear thin
decline is a natural freedom
the release from gravity presents
such a confounding message.
Signs are posted and ignored
we imagine tomorrow and miss today
until one-by-one we are
going, going, gone.
