Never You Came Poem by Peter S. Quinn

never you came
you only went away
a burn out flame
those flickering won't stay
you are dust to dust
a stone of cold
burned out rust
not worthy to hold

all is a burn
both old and new
rotating on turn
going here through
dust into the air
flying all away
here and then there
never to stay

never you came
promises they'll fade
nothing stays the same
that's man made
soon in beyond
thoughts from your heart
newer roads found
into fresh start

life is like river
flowing through chance
some must deliver
all of its circumstance
dance on and dwell
time love's to travel
no one can foretell
any of its marvel
