The eraser sits in my hand.
I look at the words and contemplate their fate
I feel like a god watching its creations.
Made of dust
Like they’re made of chalk
I exalted thee out of the dust
Risen from the particles is something breathing,
Something alive
The chalk on the board has meaning now,
But will it always?
I can swipe my hand and kill the bloodless words
Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return
Forgotten.
Dust in the Wind.
Just like I too may be
When the Writer and Eraser of my life
Decides it’s time to start again
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
And all I will be is chalk on a board
Turned to dust in the air
