I think that in the last verse, he is basically speaking on a more collective level. The sun still burns the deserts, water still filling the plains, and Noah chipping away at his ark. These are only the things we experience as humans in our time of age; the little memories we keep of ourselves and eachother on a personal level as well. Yet, "While all of us ready ourselves to go into the dark"(in family and in generations). Says much for all the eras and personal values of our world, and your world, as they go into the dark over time. "All of this matter soon won't matter much anymore" which I think is to say that perhaps of the next hundred of generations ahead, who is there to remember you as a person and what mattered to you in your life? I think in this verse he puts it in perspective that, no matter how big the matters are in our lives at the moment, we are still just a infinitesimal speck against the universe and the line of time.
