Swimming

Life is the scariest thing ever invented

One day you are smiling

The other, your house is exploding

Life will destroy what you value the most

And then build a foundation and dust the stars

The remains of your ashes and pain that was punctured into your veins

There seems to be no reason behind it

One day you have everything

The next you have nothing

You and nature around youth

And the sun and moon rising

Disappearing

It is always just you in the end

Decaying into nothingness

Worms in a coffin

Eating away your instrument you've played against your will

You've never had anything in your life

But to play it out 

As long as you can

And maybe it is the universe's way

To let you know that

We belong to no one

And we will never own anything

We just are people, swimming

Crashing

Breaking

And reaching the shore

There is a lot of emotional truth to your piece that speaks to me. We truly are creatures of constant evolution. There are remnants of the boy I once was in my youth, and now as an old man I come to understand there will be remnants of him as well when I am gone. We are foundations built upon broken foundations. From sand, to dune, to mountain. Thank you Sarah for sharing your art with words to this community.
