Sometimes a butterfly

butterflyfall

Sometimes a butterfly will fall

Sadness descends and rises

in us

whenever we let our guard down

it comes creeping in

Original thinking is a myth

a deception

at best we can rearrange what is

and we call it creativity

it is just a reshuffling

in a new way

of what is

and man becomes vain

because he is a hustler

and a reshuffled idea

Moments pass

one dissolves into the next

and we move towards extinction

The alarm will ring

and we will not be there

to answer it

and thousands of years will pass

billions

and what was this one

that sat in front of

what was once a computer

and recorded these feeble thoughts

there is no glory in death

that is the mortal illusion

we do not want to face the fact

that this is our only shot

Easily emerging out of life is difficult

we cling so ungracefully to life

because part of us feels

this is a one act play

and our part

is almost finished

How terribly sad

to fall into the nothing numb

not even able to cry

tenderness evades us

we tremble

on the edge of the world

where the storms rage

and the waters rush.

Inspiration is dry today

it is a false hope thrown at us

a rope in the nothingness.
