irrelevant

out of weakness
we learn strength

and in the puddles
of the absurdity of our own
perpetually self made calamity

we will build castles

from all the dust

 of all the ruins

from the strength

time eroded into weakness

for our strength

today,

in the moment

right now,

again

and before

and again and then

(again)

out of strength

we will all learn weakness

Very reassuring. I could build cities out of the dust of my ruins. I do hope something beautiful will be made of it. And strength will come from weakness.

It does, I promise. But eventually, it always flips, that I also promise. No one really likes to admit it but, if we didn't know we were going to die we wouldn't really understand how to live.
