Everlasting Moment
A heartbeat
in the moment,
quite possibly my last.
A salty tear
as it rolls down my cheek.
I promise myself that it will be my
last.
The lights,
the sirens,
all reduced to a steady hum.
The wind whipping my hair
tries to hold me back,
tries to restrain me,
but I remain
strong.
Falling forward
through the air,
twisting
and
tumbling,
my gleeful screams
lost in the wind.
Windows rush by
as I leave them behind.
Time slows down
as I look at the crowd
gathered
below.
I see faces
of those I know
and those I
love.
They have fear
in their teary eyes.
I look into their minds
and see
memories
of their
pasts
so often intersecting with mine.
My heart is beating fast,
as if it knows
that it’s about to be
silenced
forever.
Filling this moment
with a lifetime of
heartbeats.
My life begins to flash before my eyes,
a long and cruel tale,
only to end
in misery.
It begins to rain,
but I soon realize that they are
tears
coming from the heavens,
begging me to hold on.
I near the
ground,
the promise of an end.
So near,
yet so forgotten.
And as I try to hold on,
I begin to regret
this fatal
mistake.
