It was as if time

Stopped right then, an eternity between two seconds

Where I stood

Suspended

In the Sky

Miles above the earth…

A concrete line in the external world

Twists violently within my own mind

Now in this moment I’m harshly reminded that

What is

Is

Merely knowing what I’ve now discovered

And I am demeaned to nothing

Now gravity will grind me right into the rocks below

Absoluteness hammers down

Onto the self raised on the stilts of my dreams

Stripping all vanity away

All I acquire is all I am, nothing more

Equated to an empty shell

Yet we’re still sentient beings trapped in our defeat

So if the value was myself

I start to think, on what terms do I even exist
