Headlights Reflecting on Gravestones, a Meandering Rant from The Slacker Factor Podcast TSF14

Headlights Reflecting on Gravestones
Driving home last night / I heard that tune / The one from the 70’s / About things being over
The singer is in denial / He “Keeps Forgetting” / Things have changed / You know the song
Everything ends / Jobs, friendships, relationships, life / Somehow we don’t expect that / Won’t except that
We hate that part / The ending / The Silence / Fini
We’re built to function in the moment / But the moment is ever changing / Always working towards finish
Electrons move to eventually settle / Yearning for finale
We keep forgetting / An inherent beauty exists / In conclusion
The sun slipping behind the horizon / The sculptor making a final tap / Resonance of strings culminating the concert
Ends allows us to pause / Take heed of our experience / And look to the next
Driving home last night / I passed that cemetery / The one close to the road / Where our grandparents are buried
Sometimes I forget / The pervasive artistry of endings
Until I see headlights / Reflecting on gravestones
