Ash Memories

Missing image
Alone
in a whirl-wind
of blinding dust

accompanied
by only work

society reprogrammed 
his flesh and bones
into a machine

distant from all things true

until a memory
of the past
flutters to him

greeting him
with a photograph telegram
of beauty, happiness and

love

Author notes

This is my idea of the future, if we make it this far. Society has made us into work-a-holics and we tend to forget the true things that we were put on this earth for. We tend to forget about love (i.e. family, friends, even strangers)

    I like the image in the 1st stanza, societies work making us feel like machines. Then the fluttering memory bringing us back to ourselves.Thank you for your entry!
