Entropy
Virtual world, Bubble of Security,
Hubris in morals, rubble and sinew,
Fibers that hold, can also repel,
and viruses within, can expose what else
besides sickness of the body.
Complex structures, apt to entropy,
encourage us to dream
of life without our crumbling.
Indeed insightful, but always lost in words,
the icon and the symmetry,
always leads the mind to the absurd.
In whispers, glances,
in shivering spines,
in distance and wistfulness.
As the moisture of despair,
is absorbed in the air.

Heritage of the Decay
Life and death, health and sickness, fear and security. While these seem to be ideas natural to existence, the dichotomies are more simplified than they appear in reality.
Fear can be a palpable, or a hard to grasp feeling. Death can be quick and fleeting or drawn out over years. Nonetheless they are experiences that can be as unique and subjective and the people that witness those experiences.
Time allows us the ability to reflect of these emotions and experiences. The process of time seems to alter how we view the past, and the decay and distance of those memories and experiences become the heritage of history. We find that the past both reflects and defines who we were and who we are to become. We adapt the dichotomies that we learn in order to simplify those memories into something easier to organize and identify.
Knowledge in Hindsight
As we develop our own understanding of what happens to us, and the world's understandings influence them, they become something more cemented and defined.
The hectic chaos of the moment is ordered over time. As the memories decay and the successive ideas that we got from those memories and experiences are the only heritage that continue on, they are what ultimately define those times. By using images and dialog, expressions and relations that are formed when something happens in our life, we can hope to make those memories last beyond our our mortal lives and the entropy that surrounds us.
