Shadows come to dust <br />As the last men fall <br />As the final clouds fade away <br />And the shallow oceans evaporate. <br /> <br />Shadows come to dust <br />On edge of light <br />Where the lone wolf howls <br />As the last moon falters <br /> <br />Shadows come to dust <br />When hope is listless <br />When joy is despairing <br />And music is monotonous <br /> <br />Shadows come to dust <br />Only for the dust to blow <br />In the endless wind <br />To another shadow <br /> <br />Shadows come to dust <br />For a new beginning <br />To complete the cycle <br />And the beginning of the end.<br /><br />Mario Gonzalez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shadows-come-to-dust/
