That One Moment

Have you ever had that feeling
when the whole world slips away
and darkness or light takes its place
that one moment where nothing else matters
but the sound of breathing
labored, or gone
that moment where you know
things will never be the smae
for good or for worse
that second when nothing else exists
or has ever existed
that feeling of oneness
collided with a feeling of awe
have you ever had one of those moments?
Neither have I
the past never leaves your thoughts
even when the most future-like things occur
memories are your own personal time machine
to what has been
and your only sneak peek
at what could be
