Finding Meaning

To live means to one day die,
It is simply our nature - we multiply,
It seeks forth brilliance in a species,
That is destined for numbers and abundance.
Yet, such are things,
As your smile,
Our dreams,
And the race to that tree,
That harbour no significance to humankind.
Precious as they are,
I felt it.
That these trivial moments might hold something for us,
And I hope that maybe,
Just maybe,
That wherever you now may be,
We both can find meaning in something that can never multiply.
