Solomon called life meaningless 38 times and he was supposedly a smart dude
I refuse to concern myself
with leaving a legacy
when I know
I’m a fleeting mote of dust
amongst an endless field
of ginormous stars that will outlast
all my words and works
and even those stars will die eventually
so really
all that I do is ultimately
meaningless
by any human measure or reckoning
I refuse to miss the life
that’s right in front of me
while fretting about my destiny
So I search for beauty in the struggle
poetry in the hideous
and it’s only through
embracing the suck (as they say)
cracking apart my ambitious heart
that I happen upon
true connection --
the one thing worth pursuing
immediate and eternal
a legacy of the
here
and
now

“A legacy of the here and now”
This really speaks to me.
The perfect ending to a fantastic, thinking piece.

Fantastic title. :)))
I like how you draw contrast
between the temporal... And meaning within the parameters of the temporal...
Which to me, reinvents the temporal.
I think something that is perhaps
significant about our existence is the ability to choose...
What we value... What we believe in...
Things such as these.
Yes!
I think it is finding the poetry in the stone...
And maybe... Just maybe...
The stone is reinvented.
There again... We have a variety of possibilities...
As much variety as there are... Choices.
... Nicely done on the buzzer beater.

Dear BT,
Wow! That’s what all the fancy reviewers say when they have nothing in their lexicons to use to describe a piece of perfection. Feeling somewhat similarly with regard to being a “fleeting note of dust” I use that as justification for that second helping of cake. Not you. You go and use it to write a ginormous profound piece of poetry. Heh. Interesting. 🤔
Phenomenal write. H🌷
