Up from below,
I feel some question rising
after so long
what will happen on those days?!
what will happen on day 2,621, 2,622, 2,624, 2,630?
what will happen on the 2,631st?!
I don't want to die!
will the number return to zero?
or will it continue to grow?
zero as a symbol for empty and black?
zero as a symbol for re-set?
zero as a stand-in for neutral or clear?
Will there be a reset number as an open morning?
it's so impossible to face the possibility of an end!
days turn into days turn into days turn into weeks
and add up to a string of months which
grow into years and more years
my life, a day at a time
air in, air out...
our blood traveling steadily on a circular trail
will my heart, my life, feel empty or full on that unknown morning?
this question terrifies me!
but stop that line of thinking right there
.
.
.
.
if I remember to trust in goodness and love,
a solid hand after so long
I feel the warmth of the sun,
my everlasting fire
replace the chilling cold of that fear
and luckily, with a sigh of relief,
the poisonous terror loses its potency

No.

It's a lot more personal than that. :?

It's about something that matters to me very much.
