all that was all that is all that is to come

 

all that was

all that is

all that is to come

 

the capture of time

 

the hands of a child

 the face of a mother

a dandelion clock frozen in amber

the greying hair

of a warrior woman

all that was

all that is

all that is to come

an earth guarded by three muses

a cratered moon

ascended to the heavens

 

all that was

all that is

all that is to come

 

one last explosion

the final particles 

decaying

to

darkness

 

all that was

all that is

all that is to come
