Night comes earlier but not sleep;
I dream before my head hits the pillow.
The sky's as dark as it can be
and still have these clouds show.
Looking up
the noise inside my head goes away
abducted, as am I.
I leave myself for a moment
knowing the end of the world is coming;
this vastness is a reminder
so I pull back before anything more
decides to make excruciating sense.
I'm not much for epiphanies
they've plagued me all my life
and ignoring them is an art
I've perfected.
I've struck a golden nerve
and hit rock bottom
in these emotions of mine.
Would serenity allow me
to accept the fantasies that return
and take courage from their unrealization
with the wisdom never to let them free
and not have them prey upon me?
Life is so beautiful it's painful,
works out so well it's frightening,
and so unavoidable it's best not to think about it.
But since when do I ever do what's best?
