To think of every life that has passed
Every life that is passing
Timelines intertwined
Every pain, hope, astounding joy
And to think if you combined all of those feelings
Pooled them together
Each quivering orb
Would it not make the earth tremble
Against the vast blackness of the universe?
Yet motion allows stillness
And between each throb
Is each of us
Holding our breath
Looking up beyond the stars
And in a flicker of light,
We’re gone.
