Losing The Infinite

Post by lastlifedreamer » February 14th, 2019, 2:03 am

It's when you quit that matters

The second to last chapter

First time you intentionally let go of the rope

You've seen it in every generation before you

And you held on thinking you were different

Thinking they were different

“This world is going to hell” they always said

“Kids don't know s-----”

That is still a universal truth


You ever wonder if those sayings are just uttered subconsciously in free societies?

Or simply a human trait?

It is definitely human...But...

Freedom feeds fuel to the fire of our forefathers fear of finality

Because we may never be free again...Any of us.

Our words can easily fade into ripples of radio

Final Waves traveling endlessly in every direction

Bending through space...time...and the ethereal

Every thought you've ever had is mathematically and spiritually cast into the stars

Echoing for Billions of years

'Snaps Fingers'

"Where are you right this moment?"

“Does it matter?”

We may live forever, but the moments we are allowed control over our eternal reflections are finite.
