the pendulum swings
I hit the height of it all
and then that pause
the apex of it all
THIS IS THE EVERYTHING
so it seems
just in that pause
everything else fades
blinded by emotion
deaf by thoughts
and then
something moves
a shift
a cosmic slap
everything shatters
and light breaks through
and the colors flood in
wrapping themselves around you as you fall back down
and slowly
every so
slowly
you feel balanced again
you laugh
how ridiculous that ourburst was!
how important it had seemed!
but the laugh stops short
because the shift is still happening
you are still moving
and you groan
because you know that the pendulum is still swinging.
