Inevitability

 

The day will come

when you and I shall

have nothing left

to say. I Suppose life

was meant to be that

way. Then the days

will carry on without

us, a blank slate only

the wind, rain and

sunshine shall remain.

And eventually, I

suppose even days

such as those will

cease to be. In the

beginning wordless

days could not be

explained. Ever

since then we have

tried to create a storied

history for everything.

No need to apologize

for that which was

left undone. I feel

it only fair for me

to say I’m sorry

for my part in the

whole damn thing.

I suppose that is

what famous last

words are for.

Go in peace,

brothers and

sisters, go in peace.
