I have these moments

frequent occurrences,

where the world stops,

and I suddenly feel light-headed;

the sky becomes a pastel backdrop

teasing my reality.

I look around in these moments

everyone, though stopped …

Society ambles on

while around us our physicality, our persona,

our mechanical attributes

continue to function at a high pace

dependent upon the master plan.

I have these moments

where I would preference

the roller-coaster

suddenly jam up,

and let me rest

at the top.

…thinking…

a spiritual reckoning if I may.
