Purpose

If this age is already passed

and the all keeps moving

creating and decaying

perhaps some light will

carry over or some light

has been passed down

.

In the start of the journey

the goal wasn’t clear.

It was divide and multiply

It started with one and there

is still just one.

.

This is you. This is me.

You cannot say where

it begins and ends

or if these words

are depictions of reality

.

These words, abrupt,  speak

nothing to the liquidity

of matter or existence.

There may be no meaning

or certainty.  There may be

no safe shelter, or warmth or savory.

.

You may be onto something

looking up to the night time

sky with a body limp with awe

and the brilliant desire to reach

out and divide in rhythm to the universe’s drum

.

We are parts made of parts and so on

We are wholes inside of wholes and so forth

These are things that are parts with us;

the polar bear and the sun

the human and the passenger pigeon

the rising crust and water

calcium and the rock

.

This is why you must understand

it is meaningless and to understand

that it is meaningless you must

understand life has a purpose
