Unstable Life



Life is unstable
Like some theoretical particle
Unobservable, changed if looked at
Constant in its inconstancy

Life is unstable
Like some war zone
Destroying in seconds what took years to build
Sending families fleeing into the night

Life is unstable
Like that first flicker of love
That explodes into red tinged nights
Or winks out some cold blue morning

Life is unstable
Like a city toppled by shaking earth
Washing homes and lives away in a cold flood
Reducing great halls to timbers

Life is unstable
Like life itself
Bubbling up from nothing
To take that first step from ocean to land
