I feel so passionate

A bursting of the skin

A light

A cover

A conduit

To that other world

So many other worlds

There’s so much I feel

So many memories

Crowding around in here

I feel so much love

A bursting of the skin

Snow’s falling

Creating fresh spots on a dead fawn

Snow’s falling

Make it stop

It’s time for spring

In my mind

I feel the world spinning

Vaulting

600 kilometers per second

through the sweeping black

So why do we think we’re standing still?

That nothing’s changing?

Everything’s changing

(every millisecond)

Hang on tight

Things will break apart

Collide

Blow the fuck up

But those pieces go no where

They’re still here

Rearranging

Recollecting

Reframing

Into something brighter

Better

Stronger

Trust me

— never mind that

Trust yourself

That peace you felt

As the world fell down

It’s real

It’s telling you

To hang on

It says

It will all be all right

It will be

“Though we’re in for a few hard times”

It’s real

It’s all real

Don’t let them

Shut you down

Hang you out to dry

Tell you your truth

— is a lie

And still...

You are here

And no one can speak your mind

Or tell you what it means

Things will fall apart

They will, also, come back together

With a higher intelligence

A grander experience

Here

Under the surface

— of a rolling atmosphere

There is sunlight above
