Change – A Vanishing Point

From an old wooden bridge appeared change
Flowing out unto the anteroom of the late meridian.
And there, the wares of the autumn equinox lay so strange
Against diming steeled skies; then the coldness ceased frilly thoughts.
 
An incorporeal shadow sways, in a haunting prance,
Moving across the amber grass field with tree stands bereft of life.
A pale grim abounded, riding upon cold metal wheels, in a slow dance
Wearing the dark obsidian colors of death’s presence.
 
His shaded eyes disguising his piercing transformation
As the long horizons give way to the diminishing light
And quietus awaits to gather all for reformation;
Saints and sinners just the same – death keeps no friend.
 
The music nears its end as the waning of the day nears
His long black coat ballooning out to sweep in peril souls.
Long bony fingers snapping in gasping hope while raising nameless fears
And, his vest metal buttons glow brighter with each darken turn.
 
Envelop the surreal moment for if eternity awaits
Then embrace change and all its power – with passion.
Race against the winds of change upon frivolous skates
And find where the vanishing point across that bridge ends.
