The body remembers… What the mind forgets. Fingers slow In colder light Steps retrace What once felt right I taste the hours In every breath Time like dust Behind the chest ⸻ The edges fray But not with pain I feel the drift I know the name ⸻ ASH BETWEEN — THE NOW AND GONE THE THIN VEIL HUMS A FORGOTTEN SONG I’M NOT YET DUST, BUT I’M NO LONGER WHOLE THE HOURGLASS WHISPERS THROUGH A CRACKED SOUL Skin grows thin Thoughts grow deep Dreams no longer Promise sleep I don’t run From what I see But it looks back Inside of me ⸻ Names I’ve worn Now feel too wide The self I was No longer hides ⸻ ASH BETWEEN — BECOMING LESS I SHED THESE FORMS, I SHED THE REST NOT DYING YET… BUT DISSOLVING STILL THE MIRROR MELTS, YET REFLECTS MY WILL ⸻ This is not fear But recognition This is not loss But transmission There is no end Only a bend But I am part Of what must end ⸻ ASH BETWEEN — FLESH AND LIGHT THE FINAL DAWN THAT COMES WITHOUT NIGHT I AM THE FRACTION, THE FADING LINE I AM STILL HERE… FOR NOW… IN TIME
