after pure potential......

that solitary moment
when everything
that could
would
should
have been created
comes to stillness
rests in the nothing

when everything
that had the absolute
and utter power
to change the complete course of your life
comes screeching to a stop around you

that solitary moment
when the magnificent beauty
of the Pure Potential
of ALL
grows cold
silent
vague
removed

and you stand there
lost
confused
withdrawn

and you breathe

one breath at a time

and you cry
and you feel the air around you
moving through you
in you
out of you
becoming you

and you sit with that moment
of nothingness
emptiness
the pure potential behind you
but somehow
now once again before you
beside you
and in you

and the moment starts to shift you

and in the stillness
in the tears
and in the glory
starts a very soft sound
like a composition
a remembered melody
of something resembling music
resembling joy

and the harmonies slice through you
they split you open
until you don't remember
which part of you held your heart
and which part of you held your soul
and you no longer care

and your tears become laughter
shoulders weightless
body formless

and the music becomes angels
and they are singing for you
singing you home
to where you remember

who you are
