The Uncertain Solution.

We cannot seem to understand
that one perceives personally with limited scope,
a minuscule allotment, a slippery vision of time.
We believe to hold witness to a great single minded river,
this metaphor is bought wholly
and sold solely to sweeten our short life-
As one word often leads to the next,
a parent sires child
thinking this is the most powerful measurement of truth
we use to falsely foolproof our assurances
and assuage any feeling of being a victim,
eaten by time.
It is a shared dream of the dead man's final words-
they carry weight, meaning and purpose.
Needing to be painfully comprehended and carried self evident.
A literary reflection of our need for death to matter,
to have matter and be of substance is a view of ourselves linearly,
as a line drawn between birth to death
then- maybe
a cathartic eternity.

Read these powerful words three times, not entirely sure i understand them, perhaps you'll tell me if my simple interpretation goes anywhere near your meaning.

The end of life is a completion of the truth we try to find from birth to death; we want to do more than our best, complete more than dreamed possible and fade, feeling we passed with flying colours.
