What Matters Anyway?

Everything feels right
Something has to be wrong
Excitement fills the air
Dread looms in the distance

The joy of the moment
Turns into thick tension
A thought of hope and peace
Quickly drowned in darkness

Life ending at a pace
Unknown to anyone
Yet we are not burdened
By the construct of time

Something otherworldly
Grasps the soul and the heart
An ephemeral touch
More powerful than love

A dream that you can feel
With no start or finish
A moment of escape
Lost and found in a breath
