As we stood upon the crux of a life changing second, no-one second guessed it.

  An inaudibly low tone met my ears , I met fate as I walked into nothing but darkness and sound. As prescribed by those who knew personalities, by chance this was the meeting to end all meetings. Correct?

 

Yes. That very second will stand in infamy with two people and only two people, for all time. As if the wool had been pulled from my eyes and the wax gone from my ears. I heard and saw, yet could not breathe. I saw right through a person for the first and maybe last time to only see myself standing alone. Alone in a room, black and windowless, eyes to flood the world with hope.

A feeling that by all accounts was similar to a kick in the sternum as if almost to break, left breathless to the infinity of the overwhelming silence. Undulating rhythm in my ears was to my astonishment not my heart and the realty of this situation became all to clear. With more words in that uncommunicative noise than any human could ever utter, I knew. More than anyone has ever known in the history of the world. 

A glimmer of what we all think as children. Unabashed in our judgements before the ability to be jaded even exists. Like the first memory of happiness that has no image embodied. In the times where it all stops you remember everything, well at least i do. The shape of light cast by the sodium glow from the street light while snowing, falling across the face of perfection. In an instant there was a lifetime with every breath. Can you feel your heart racing. If feeling like this is possible then maybe a god does exist. In every second of every day, in every living thing. Maybe in that second where it all seemed to stop we just looked harder. Thats what i think.

 Every day we choose to not open our eyes as we did once. I will stare into my sun till the day I lose sight. Alas their must be eclipses? The sun comes back every time. It might just take longer, it can never be totally gone, just hope it never fades and you never forget. In that second I saw hope. Sic Transit Gloria.
