Sitting

 

 

 


Sitting,

Staring at the sea,

Wondering what will be

The end of it all—

What will seal it all,

What will finally sever this pointless curve?


All its content, images, parting images

Always consuming themselves,

In every moment letting go;

A temporary flow

Of knowing,

Of flowing,

Of always dying away

Of flying away.


These fleeting senses, our only possession:

So transitory,

So wonderful,

So glorious,

So absorbing,

So short,

So tragic,

And then when passed,

So unknowingly and eternally pointless.
