This Lyrical Existence: July 2023

Friday, July 28, 2023

There's a change on the wind

All-encompassing

Allow the breeze to carry me...

Or hunker down

And wait for it to pass?

We may never "be" anything...

But we'll never be "nothing."

One mouse click...

One finger press...

Everything changes

Some don't realize

Some aren't ready

Three words

Likely forgotten to the speaker

To the one who heard them spoken, though...

They gave hope

They gave incentive

They gave purpose

They became the basis for all decisions made since

They were everything

But in the end

They're just...

Three words

I never dreamt it would happen.

Then it did.

I opened my eyes to realize...

Now I had.

I have these words...

They'll either make things better, or make them worse.

And I'm not sure I want to find out which just yet.
