Vanitas Vanitatum

Spinning into the void.... Silhouetted glimpses Of these comets And shooting stars Disappearing tales of vapor Astonishing wonders, they are! Axioms.... Swishing into the swirls Of the churning skies Crashing into the waters Amid spindrifts....Vanishing light! Their moment, slowly descending Beneath the murmuring tide Columns, of reflectless glass Silently dancing.... For the very last time Unto the shores, of forevermore Forgottens fathoms....their lives! Spatiotemporal....Resting.... ...."Never again".... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vanitas Vanitatum

I think I understand this after reading it a couple of times.."Astonishing wonders" indeed. "Disappearing tales of vapors" for sure...liars,arrogant,ones, the so-called clever ones, never last forever, sooner or later they all fade in the light- and vanish! Thanks for reading leaving comments for me...Love, Audrey
