Ashes to Ashes

Nothing in this universe is eternal

Nor is it infinite

I sit here in solitude

Gazing out the window onto an unfamiliar land

Buildings clog the skies

The air I breathe outside smells of gasoline

It's always changing

Updating itself again and again to please the masses

I try to hold onto something

Anything

But it all slips through my fingers

Disintegrating into dust

And I realize that one day

I too, will become a part of that dust
