It moves full circle
like a merry-go-round,
just not so pleasent as that,
Yes, it moves full circle,
leaving debrees where it treads,
pieces like ash that only get darker
as you try to brush them away,
It moves full circle,
and with it's debrees, it spreads,
it leaves the soul a black void
left for just a shell to clean,
It moves full circle,
and treads in nooks
not so easily reached,
the shell is left with the burden
of the cleansing,
It moves full circle,
it's presence lingering indefinitely
until the shell, just the shell,
can purge the ash and catch light,
to fill the void,
appearing whenever the shell
is careless and astray,
just when the clarity starts to ebb away,
the void returns full circle
