Eternal Timing
Ghost chair rocks in still air
Motes of dust idle motionless
Their dancing days long gone
Schools of yellow fish
Peek from behind peeling wallpaper
Keeping their eyes on ghost chair rocking
Late is eternal
A tarnished crucifix hangs over the bed
Watches over stopped alarm clock
Housed with spider and web
Continuing on with life
Patiently waiting to bestow death
On any stray life caught in its web
All while…
Landlord awaits his next human tenant
Ready to play out his or her own eternal timing.

Nature's takeover of what we thought was long life, is quite quick compared to the eternity's cycle.
