nothingness

They say it rains diamonds on Saturn.

That would be a whole lot cooler than water.

But also a little painful.

I guess cuts and bruises are second nature there.

And they’d hit the ground like dollar bills

Then they’d melt

Into nothingness.

As if they never existed.

But if it was raining diamond rings out of our sky,

Would we all be wearing water droplets on our ring fingers?

And what happens when there’s a gust of the winds of time?

The rain grows apart.

A droplet splits into two, and lands up in a completely different place.

And the little relationship symbolized by a diamond ring would diverge.

Into nothingness.

As if it never existed.

One would become two again.

Maybe there is hope.

Redemption is never eliminated.

It’s a solid core at the center of the liquid mass into which memories are lost.

Where the droplets aggregate and rejoin together.

Because not everything that’s lost is gone.
