Fleeting (edited)

Never was almost anything but nothingness.
Imagine the infinite void between planets, between stars, between skins.

Who are we anyways?

We are fleeting whitecaps in a sea,
wavelets, skeins of seaweed,
emerging for a billowing moment,
rushing to catch a glimpse of sky,
drowning with a last stroke of breath.

Eternity.

Lovely Martin and fleeting we are, insignificant in this vast universe. We should inhale the beauty of this earth before we drown in our small moment of time here…
Anna :o]

Yes, you're right. Thank you, Anna : )

Lovely, Martin.

James 4:14 'For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.'

Martin said...

Oh well ... Thank you, Paul : )

Bill said...

We are fleeting, but love makes our short stay worthwhile.

Martin said...

Yes. Thank you, Bill : )

Imagina el infinito vacío entre planetas,
entre estrellas, entre pieles.

@Yelena: "The heaviness of the world weighed on her chest, lifted its wings and soared in a sigh."

Beautiful use of language in this piece, Martin, and a bit of melancholy, maybe? Lovely.

Martin said...

Of course. It's rolling in waves against the shore.
Thank you, Charlotte : )
