Literature Text

It's that moment of suspension
Held aloft within the air
An inch or two above reality
Ready to fall into despair

It's like an earthquake
But it never stops
The ground breaks
In a million spots

And I am frozen in space
Stuck in the time between
The frames of life's cinema
The fabled story of a dream

It shimmers and shakes
Like a heat wave
My place in space
I cannot save

I'm floating through this maze
Of moments in the grey twilight
Of the everlasting cycle
Of evil day and darkest night

Too many thoughts
Flickering by
Too many questions
To ask why

Why can I not perceive life
As a series of events connected
Only by my mind, yet separate
And indifferently directed

By the whimsy hands of fate
When you've lost your sense of normalcy, and become aware of life's fluidity.
