In A Physical World Nothing Lasts Forever
All You Have To Do Is Look Around And See
What looks good and feels right
May not be here tomorrow
When we go to bed at night
Everything feels the same
We close our eyes
Our bodies go to sleep
We wake up and do what we always have
Go to work and see the same people
Our life changing so slow
We often don't notice
Unless something drastic or unforgettable happens
You hear so many people say
It is the same old thing
Another day almost a carbon copy of the one before
We wake up tomorrow and think little has changed
When in reality everything has
We are tricked and fooled by our own minds
The same mind that leads us to great inventions and progress
Can be faulty and make mistakes
How do we adjust for these mistakes ?
As a writer we write what we see and feel
We touch the world in a different way
Mentally through our senses
Something that can not be touched or held
Proceed with "caution"
Never stop learning and adding to our new knowledge
Giving up old ways that don't work no more
This is one of the hardest things I have ever done
Outdated and misunderstood
Nobody really told me how or what to do
I think that they maybe they didn't know either
I am a prehistoric mammal that learns to adapt with change
That change happened not because of something I did
From something I didn't do
An outside force of nature I had no control over
Water
The same water that keeps us alive
Without it we can not survive
Kind of ironic
I pun within a pun
Here I am because I drink water because my body needs it to function
The same water destroys paper
Years of my notes and writings gone in an instant
Careless to think they would be o.k. where they are
I have kept them safe for over forty years
Why should now be any different
Well as the seasons change
Our bodies change
We are not and never will be the same
Life is about change
With change comes new and greater ideas
In todays world
I can relate it so everyone understand
Years of knowledge and all the results of a fifty year test
Destroyed gone for good
My own personal imaginary computer crashed
All my information was not backed up
As I move forward
Living and breathing and taking in this very moment
It is 6:58 the first signs of daylight
Seconds before this my world was in complete darkness
Except for artificial light in the house
I move along with great speed of todays world
I am also much aware that what looks permanent
Is only an illusion
The people we meet every day may not be here tomorrow
We may not be here tomorrow
So live for today
Take the bad and the sad
Rework it into something good
Take the good and make it something special
Because it is
Unfortunately we realize this when it is too late
When something is lost or of no more use
Useless
Even then that is not true
Because if we are smart
We can learn a lesson
So nothing is really wasted
The outcome is just different than what we expected
Funny how life is
We look around and see the world what we have made
From computers to lights
Money to fabulous homes
Every invention imaginable
Now thanks to the ease and speed of computers
We can record things almost indefinitely
There is only one catch
We may not be around to enjoy it
It is not what we make in the end
It is what we are made of what really matters

AUTHORMichael-Milec This is our time to experience all the feelings and emotions that are humanly possible. Thank you for reading and sharing.
Indeed, Michael, "Life is about change." We are learning to live. The first part of life we are trying to understand everything and have desire to own often things we do not need. In the second part, we do look forward, planning the future and examining what we done well and/or badly previously.
In the end everything will be lost from view , only the traces of our work and the

Devika Primic Roll with the punches and fly with the birds. They never complain. No use in complaining. It is to draining. Taking us away from all the good. Sometimes you just have to let it out and release the things that didn't go the way we had hoped and wished for. Thank you for your advice and support. May you have a terrific day. The weather is cool and wonderful here. So nice to see your comment.
Life is just that. I understand that at times one can feel at their worst but at the same time you can feel at your best too. No need to dwell on what is not good focus on the positive.

Gypsy Rose Lee That time will come soon enough. For now go treat yourself to an ice cream or a favorite food for lunch. You will get through this and you will see your life change for the better again. Everything takes time. Be patient. You are dealing with years of emotions and love. I lost writings and I know how deeply I am hurt. People are a whole different level. Thank you for reading and sharing.
There are quite a few times that I feel like Alice in Wonderland in this world so I know that there is a return to the natural world passing over the threshold into the world beyond.
