The Path

the universe

is a storm

and we are

but snowflakes

drifting down

from the clouds

of creation

down to the ground

of the dead

and the path

of our descent

is largely written

in the stars

as we are

pushed and pulled

by the winds

of fate

to our spot

on the Earth

to rest

forevermore

and as we lay

at the end

of our long journey

we melt down

from a unique crystal

of infinite complexity

into a single drop

of water

a drop

in the ocean

of all who is

and will ever be

all of us

changing form

changing identity

yet ultimately

remaining the same

and should

our descent

be faster

than most

in this storm

we can do nothing

but drift down that path

given to us

by an indifferent universe

that pays no heed

to the moral,

relativistic framework

our minds create

to try to understand

this world of death

and live
