Yes.. everything is but transient....
That, you’ve always known in principle..
but lured and wrapped up in that cocooned existence
the spirit cannot help but beg to believe otherwise ..
It continues its impulsive unfettered flight
unmindful of tomorrow..
not seeking reasons.. promises or any validation..
just instant gratification..
re-drawing boundaries that were once sacred..
suddenly believing more in the greys, than in black or white
as the lines between your own right and wrong continue to blur..
So when the spell is finally broken..
When u finally do wake up
from the forced or wilful facade..
Blind though the hibernation has been..
There is still, that one single moment of clarity..
Sitting with your arms around yourself
on the ledge where you’ve always belonged and felt safe..
giving in to the beginnings of that same old feeling creeping up your spine..
Except.. This time.. it’s different..
Becoz maybe, change has permeated so much..
that you’re not the same anymore..
For better or for worse..
You can still find yourself though..
Somewhere.. deep in the cobwebs of your mind
knowingly created..
or maybe, you just might not recognise
that face in the mirror anymore..
But even if you don’t,
You still believe..
that this phase, like everything else, is fleeting as well..
You still crave though..
for something more meaningful..
more enduring..
than just the glint of that momentary mirage...
