Oblivion


Cloud Atlas

I look at the endless crowd of people, some moving about their ways, some standing still… some full of life, some dying slowly, most of them oblivious to the fact that someday, all they have, ever had, wish to have will turn to dust, floating about unnoticed in the air, in the winds, under the feet of others. Their family, friends, love, all turned into absolute nothingness. When I think about it all, I feel a smile taking shape on my lips as well as a tear welling up in the corner of my eye. Detaching myself from my present, I can see my past, and cherish the bonds I made, the happy moments I experienced. However brief my time is in this universe, regardless of whether I am ever going to have another life, another chance to meet these people I love, I shall strive to create memories in the hearts of those around me, for memories are transcendental elements. Even if I’m erased from the pages of time forever, I shall leave a trace of me. I shall not let my existence be forgotten and diminished. Even in oblivion I will be together with my family, my friends and my love. This is my ultimate ambition, to stay back. It’s not because I want to be a great person, but the thought of losing everyone around me and the things I do, it’s just unacceptable.
