Spaces

I drifted into shadow

On the edge of consciousness

My body paralyzed

My mind on full display

Suspended in the moment

Truly steeped in Now

Right before a past too painful

And a future too unknown

I teetered there accepting

The new reality

Enlightened for the briefest

Quickest bit of time

Until reality resolved itself

As it slapped me in the face

When I saw the spaces

Where your things used to be
