Living together

Life, the ambivalent gift
Built of moments, incidents, experiences,
Images in colour, lingering
In cameos, memories, scattered

Blending in feelings
Breezes stirring love, need, fear,
Joy sometimes
All made of precious little bits
Vulnerable to annihilation

From what is listed
Thereof sing
Into the dark
Absorbent void
Which is the future

And sweet life lived together
In the grip of Time
Twists into sadness;
Contemplates forever
What used to be.
