Such as it is ...

Deja Vu

We discussed life and existence
a favored topic
One that extends into
Forever

She, a nihilist,
chartered hope for hope's sake
because little could be done otherwise
And I agreed.

She, depressed,
because man needs must destroy itself
cause its own end
and perhaps
(even hopefully)
in our time.
I nodded.

She, doubtful,
asked my opinion
and I, smiling
told her I feared
nothing of destruction.

If we are all made
of indestructible stuff,
then "death" shall
never be our true end.
We are ever eternal.

If the universe is contracting
and expanding
into infinity,
Then we shall be here again.

The idea that
we had always
and would always
be together in that moment
having
that discussion
shall be my comfort
even to the 'end' of the world.

We are all made of stars.
