All Dark Graves

Shovels pierce the horizon bridging the barrier

between what's and what's deceased

And the symbiotic nature of all that's between

No matter who or what lies 'neath

Life carries on above unphased by the everlasting

absence of the slowly rotting

Delving deeper, darkness falls, corrosion sets in

as life begins to fall apart

Shapeless beings call forth to be one with them

Achieving immortality through the process of decomposition

The selfish request of a treacherous host

Everything does take life, even the earth must feed

Approaching the barren wasteland

Nothing to set one space from another

Lungs collapse from lack of air

Digestion has started

There is no turning back

Atomization occurs forcing fragments

of the former in opposite directions

Some upwards through to the surface

and others into the abyss

To be forever forgotten

For life will carry on above
