I withers

I:

The mortal,

Inconsequential being;

A mere body,

To a thought;

Five elements,

Blended together,

Like,

Ingredients of,

A perfect recipe,

Amidst the,

Resulting alchemy,

Of which,

This I,

Is born;

Only to be lost,

Someday,

To the earth and ether;

The mighty,

I,

And its mightiness,

Reduced to dust.

Crumpled and crushed.

I

Withers.
