Ironic Embers

The irony of life,
is our greatest fear to forget,
yet its the only certain fate,
that anything has ever met,
we know one day our earth,
will find itself victim with time
that nothing will be left,
to tell of your story of mine,
and still through life we rush,
scrambling for something we will remember,
perish the thought that ash be ash,
and not the memory of an ember.
