Scattered light

we are not meant to linger
in endless sunrises
nor chase infinity
through unyielding nights

our bodies crumble
our hours slip like sand
through impatient fingers

and yet
we live forever in the laughter
we leave behind
in the stories whispered
long after we’re gone
and in the way
someone remembers
the light we scattered
into the world
