Will This Happen to Us?

I’m just coming back from all you’ve said
some in this life, some in my head
my breath is short but I can stand up straight
yet all can crush beneath the silent weight
Will this happen to us?
Does every living thing turn do dust?
the dust catches the headlight beams
slow motion repeats of our winter dreams
lets put down a word for us
before the water of your eyes turns to rust
Will this happen to us?
Does every living thing turn to dust?
