Everlasting Nothingness

I suppose you could say that it is a glimpse into the strange workings of my mind.

A welcoming house...

Now just ash and blood.

A loved ones embrace...

A memory in the wind.

A place to call home, a town or city...

Forever forgotten on a sweet tide of melancholy.

Yet here we stand, against the wisdom of ages...

War, hate, death.

Love, happiness, life.

Each an element of existing, melding together in mind, body and soul.

Are we doomed to forever repeat the mistakes of the past?

Or can humanity create its own, new path?

This brink we survive in; a precipice between wholeness and oblivion...

A world to make mistakes; but also chances to fix them. 

Will we stay for long?

Or simply fall...

Into the sweet, Everlasting Nothingness.

Deep subject. You pose several good questions that have haunted some of the best minds the world has had? Can we learn? Let us hope we can... and do.
Great flow... wonderful content.
Keep writing.
