Time out of Place

The journey draws nigh
My time is nearly up...
Soon I will be
Subatomic particles
From yesterday
Settling further out
Out and away
Bygone
A faint memory
Forgot…
I was
Just anyone
Who once wandered
Upon the wayward path
But I will tow the line
Of all I’ve gained
Forwardly…
T’is difficult
To forget
All that is
Moving past-wardly…
