the world faded into black

As the script ended

and here I was on the edge

lighted by cryptic light

reading the epilogue 

in monotone

I hear the sounds of worlds

Crying out in grace

and here we are in nothing new

Old and fashionable and understated

And while the ashes may have fallen

I can look back and see the joys of sunshine

In that vast openness of possibility

Life was never to hard

When there were people like you in it

If the feeling is fleeting or if it had lasted lifetimes

It's comforting to know that such dreams

such dream are reality

and on this void

In this flash of my life I see the others like you

the friends and family

the life and joys

and underneath maybe some hidden grief

But overall the world had a spotlight

It had an audience

The drama was real

The comedy was genuine

here is the truthfulness of it all

The sweet spots in a sour world.
