So life keeps going, dragging us along
like clouds pushed forward against
Their wish by willful wind.
We are unsure how we are moving-
Are we moving?
Or is it the way that moves?
In either way we have to go
Letting go all things past and all things present
A tiny presence in the great grand scheme.
The killing uncertainty of what
Lies ahead in the passage of future
Is more than we can handle.
Yet we cannot hold for long
What we are leaving behind, for
our marks on the world are obsolete.
No longer visible in the chaos around
We float towards another world
for the end itself is the beginning.

This poem is great. It really made me think about “the bigger picture.” How our actions all play a part and how there’s something infinite after life, thank you.
