Life has a way of sneaking up on you
of waiting until you are happy
comfortable
feeling secure
And then- BAM!
Everything changes … no warning or sign
Suddenly, abruptly,as though you have stumbled down a
Rabbit hole with no end in sight
No brakes
No slowing the pace to allow yourself the ability
Or space to adjust for your new reality
Alien surroundings quickly passing you in a blur of never ending feelings
Emotions
That you will not have the opportunity
To process as it keeps falling through the abyss with the continuity of chaos
Constantly cascading in a colourful flurry of involuntary activity
Incorporating itself into the cracks of this emotional void
Smiling
Coping
The only autonomy that you have in this situation is
Your reaction to the absolute absurdity hitting the face
Like a steam engine blasting the entirety of all known entities into dust
An unrecognisable cloud of
What was; what existed
I can’t look away from this disaster unfurling in front of me
As I watch
Unblinking
Licking your body using the bright flames of rebirth
to free from physical forms
