Transience (All Parts)

Transience (All Parts)

     Transient memories
soaring through my mind
     resisting, evading my grasp 
not yet wishing for discovery.

     Bereft of feelings,
sins not yet atoned
     seeking closure
for transient memories not yet known. 

     She stares, transfixed 
estranged images
     coming in to focus
transient facade broken.
     She remembers now.

     Transience shattered,
glimpses of death
     blood all around
steal clashes echoing
     I couldn't save you. 

     Long departed love
from a time centuries ago
     no way back,
transience please reclaim me. 

     Transience was a blessing,
I don't long to remember
     your touch
so soothing and tender...

Please,
hold me in your arms tonight
for my soul is fading,
devoid of light.
