Apathetic Ramblings

I'm going through a period of apathy, nothing I do seems to matter. Nothing holds my attention for more than a few minutes. Everything seems pointless, and everything uninteresting. So here I present, a brief reflection on the instability of life.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
All that is made lost, to moths or rust.

A piece of paper with the name of a child, its brith certificate, crumples and disintegrates in the rain.

A lifetimes work, painstakingly collected samples of meaning, lost in the swift blaze that leaves naught but memories.

The memories collected over a lifetime, lost as the bearer becomes ruled by their illness.

The slightest fall changing a childs smile to a wail of pain.

The strongest house lost to the stronger storm.

The life that love created ending in dispair.

The death of an old one, with all their loved ones there.

As spring fades to summer flowers bloom and die.

Year passes to year buildings are built and destroyed.

Tress, flowers, buildings, paper, memories, happiness, life, all is fleeting.

All is fleeing away too fast for us to have a hope of catching it.

So live each day to the full, love like you've never lived, because in the end, none of it, means a damn thing.
