Blink of an eye

I look at the hole in my mindfulness.
Empty & vast, it spans horizons
filled with delicate nothingness.It feeds
on hope & fear.

Do you hear it call your name?
This virtuous loss of perspective.
Is it receptive to change & progress 
of all we hold dear?

Vast void of lost opportunity
eating away at ravenous soul,
holding spirits high in the tears
of a fallen eye. Dare we cry? 

Dare we dream once more? 
Slippery slopes of self righteous decline
mask our eternal fall from grace. As we
take a stand in lost disgrace. Dare we shine?

Together we jump into unknown space
as life drones by on cloud ridden sky.
Are we blind to nature's fate as we laugh
& contemplate life's false reality? And what of dignity? 

Dare we blink an eye?
