(untitled)*

I was quickly stopped by that shining beast
flashed before me was eternity
the bells chimed for the sake of familiarity
and my mind was consumed by the afternoon moon

I could not rationalize it.
my mind entombed by grey and blue
I thought of those to come before me
and those who would follow soon
does it only feel like things are getting better
when what came before was unforeseen?

the heartbeat is only counting down to what comes next
so by speeding it up or slowing it down
is it possible to find the shortest path to happiness?

I was not sure.
So just this once, I ran away from death
