And then, there's this moment.

And then, there’s this moment.
When everything you believed in,
So truly,
So completely and steadfastly,
Is suddenly hurled into oblivion,
Quickly, quietly,
So that it slips away without a shimmer.
It leaves you torn and
Asking for answers and
With tears running down,
Begging for it to come back.
It leaves you shaking and cold;
From cumbersome fear and
Loss and love and
Everything as One.

Who do you go to?
What entity approached?
A reality check,
A blanket, a book,
The Ultimately Real,
A drink, a substance,
The graze of a hand
Down the small of your back,
A friend?

The strangest moment of your life.
And who you give it to,
This is what will define you.
