What keeps time going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What keeps the planet spinning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What keeps the spring coming?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What keeps me alive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What gives me purpose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can they<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can we\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If time is a human invention\u2026 am I actually wasting it? Can you waste something that doesn\u2019t exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or can you make the most of it, while still breathing, knowing it will all, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
eventually, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
fade, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
into nothing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What keeps us going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clocks count our steps<\/p>\n\n\n\n
our breaths, our dreams-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
they mark them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
they pace them, measure them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am I, just a measurable piece of meat<\/p>\n\n\n\n
coexisting simultaneously at the same time as other billions of bones? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am I a star, rather energy, floating in the middle of a deep, dark, and hidden galaxy, trapped in a black hole? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trapped in a pool<\/p>\n\n\n\n
filled<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with<\/p>\n\n\n\n
billion, trillion<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of other holes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wonder <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does everything actually end up fading into nothing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can I know if it does?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can I know if it doesn\u2019t?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can\u2019t, can I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If so<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do I want to know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faith feels like jumping inside an active Volcano <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s warm arms wrapping themselves around you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
while falling<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and falling<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and falling <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wonder, will I be able to levitate before hitting the bottom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wonder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will God come and save me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will time stop, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
will I rewind, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
will I die?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faith is about jumping, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
eating all the \u201cwhat if\u2019s\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
without actually digesting them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
because there\u2019s still a chance\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
while possibilities exist <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And reality, is never as real as they say<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You dreamt it, before you got to accomplish it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t want the answer to my questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t need them <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll live without knowing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll love without understanding <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I realize;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
not all those who wonder <\/p>\n\n\n\n
have to be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
