i look, turn around, and see your face
then, it falls away like dust
like a living dream
not even yours in the first place
so, I keep walking along staring at the ground
trying harder to recall what’s left of the vision I have of you
only time has started to begin to fade the picture
even though my heart has a good memory
the beats are becoming too far between
those flashes no longer able to bring it back to life
no matter how much I love you
soon, i won’t be able to see you anymore
when you’re way out of focus
and completely lost from my heart
Earth To Ash 
My heart ached as I read this. I totally get it. It’s agonizing to feel the sand slip through my fingers…

Thanks, my friend. My daughter’s name is Ashton so I felt the title was fitting. And, it’s how I feel at this stage of it. Sucks…appreciate you reading it. Onward and upward I guess.
