Halcyon Memories

In a futile endeavor To count out my last days I procured an abacus And candle clock to set ablaze Once the abacus was gold The clock was wicked and waxed But foolish me, the gold tarnished The candle waned and then collapsed And as the days passed me by I didn't get to count The clock ticked out irregular The days were an indefinite amount And wondering what followed Was cause not to see All that I had hoped for were some Final halcyon memories Next I strung a rope above Not from which to swing Planning only to climb up And find a spot to latch a string From this string new threads would conjure Stable ports of call A feeble means of locating Solace, impenetrable And as the days passed me by I didn't get to count The clock ticked out irregular The days were an indefinite amount And wondering what followed Was cause not to see All that I had hoped for were some Final halcyon memories Whether forwards or before I know I'd leave behind My pale pyrite abacus And ashes with my peace of mind Misgivings and uncertainty So easy to deplore Are real, unrelenting, and As such, refuse to be ignored And as the days passed me by I didn't get to count The clock ticked out irregular The days were an indefinite amount And wondering what followed Was cause not to see All that I had hoped for were some Final halcyon memories So as my solace light to the sky The rope and string ablaze I watch the swirling tufts of smoke And finally time meets my gaze The abacus, unmelting, tilts And, gleaming, counts to none The candle, similarly, knows Its days of burning time are done
