Whatever force pulled together
the scattered particles,
cultivating them,
causing their mass to envelope itself,
sharing its existence endlessly
Until the perfect moment:
When every unknowing particle
trembled with the promises of endless possibility
and the underlying terror that accompanies irrevocable change
When all they had ever been
would be washed away by a great light
shrouded in mystery
A light
that turns through the darkness, piercing
and imparts new existence
in accordance with things unseen
I have insomnia. Last night I took an Ambien to help myself fall asleep, which makes me more than slightly out of it. Today I found this poem in my planner along with a drawing of a jellyfish that is also a watermelon.
