‘Nothing matters, nothing else matters’ He tried to tell himself ‘Doesn’t matter, doesn’t even matter’ Tries to sell himself But he cannot change truth As much as return to youth The fire has dimmed Down to shadows of remember And the ashes barely glow, Their heat about to silence forever No more fuel upon the hearth And his embers all fading to grey Waiting for the flue to open again To watch his ashes be blown away ‘Something remains, somehow, something remains’ He tells himself ‘It should remain, it just must remain’ Affirming to himself Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Is life in the end, he remembers, Yet life still exists wherever There’s a spark left within the embers |

Beautifully rendered melancholy, dear J.! Something remains, yes, something transforms. There is continuity on soul level. Love, Margherita |
