Watched the other day as the world crumbled
The buildings fell away
The trees were torn limb from limb
The clouds didn’t float past
And all of the colors faded away.
An ocean of blackness
Overtook the land
Closing in a beam of light upon the hill I stood.
Gradually the hand of god,
Thought shining upon me,
Closed on the last blade of grey grass.
The sound was ****** out of the blackness
I felt forgotten and lost.
At once I stood in space
That once occupied the earth.
The expansiveness of the stars surrounded me.
I felt like one single cell
And thought like time
Realizing this was my existence.
I am nevertheless time, past, present, and future.
