FLAMES AGAINST THE WIND
A SIMU Reflection
All we ever truly have in life are moments and memories.
All we ever truly own are moments and memories.
Even those we cherish…
even the ones that shine brightest in our hearts…
they are finite.
Sometimes they vanish with the last person who remembers us.
Life is fleeting.
A flame flickering and fluttering against the wind.
No matter how bright, defiant, or steady the flame burns,
the wind will eventually put it out.
We are all flames.
Flickering.
Fluttering.
Dancing in the gusts of time.
And yet…
for the brief moment we burn,
for the fleeting warmth we give,
we illuminate the darkness,
we leave traces,
we exist.
Even in knowing the wind will come,
we burn.
We burn.
We burn.
A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
