Insignificance

The Universal emotion, the thought
of the century.
And still the unanswerable questions
idle in our minds.
For all that we can do,
in building our sky-cities, and having dominion on the earth
Sectioning it off into orderly polygons and shapes,
Creating sense out of chaos,
our own little worlds created
by our perceptions,
still, we flee away from the thought
of insignificance.
It is a terrifying thought,
that the world is no more than dust
blown away over a heaving, formless ocean.
And so we cling to the perceived reality
pitifully, unable to accept
that perhaps love does not exist,
that it is no more than a passing attitude.
