Stratospheric traces of our transitory flight

Trails of condensation held

In narrow paths of white

The sun is turning black

The world is turning gray

All the stars fade from the night

The oceans drain away



Horizon to horizon

Memory written on the wind

Fading away like an hourglass, grain by grain

Swept away like voices in a hurricane



In a vapor trail



Atmospheric phases make the transitory last

Vaporize the memories that freeze the fading past

Silence all the song birds

Stilled by the killing frost

Forests burn to ashes

Everything is lost



Washed away like footprints in the rain



In a vapor trail
