Purpose

No matter our struggles, our toils;
One day the wind will carry our dust 
carelessly across windblown fields.
Why worry, why put so much meaning
Into things that do not matter.
Really, what are we masters at,
Certainly, it is not living.
The reason for all this, don't you worry.
In our own silent dispair we search for reason,
maybe it is in dying, letting go.
