Wonderer


What keeps time going?

What keeps the planet spinning?

What keeps the spring coming?

What keeps me alive?

What gives me purpose?

What is  

Can it 

Can I

Can they

Can we…?

If time is a human invention… am I actually wasting it? Can you waste something that doesn’t exist?

Or can you make the most of it, while still breathing, knowing it will all, 

eventually, 

fade, 

into nothing?

What keeps us going?

Clocks count our steps

our breaths, our dreams-

they mark them

they pace them, measure them

Am I, just a measurable piece of meat

coexisting simultaneously at the same time as other billions of bones? 

Am I a star, rather energy, floating in the middle of a deep, dark, and hidden galaxy, trapped in a black hole? 

Trapped in a pool

filled

with

billion, trillion

of other holes?

I wonder 

Does everything actually end up fading into nothing?

How can I know if it does?

How can I know if it doesn’t?

I can’t, can I?

If so

Do I want to know?

Faith feels like jumping inside an active Volcano  

It’s warm arms wrapping themselves around you,

while falling

and falling

and falling 

I wonder, will I be able to levitate before hitting the bottom?

I wonder

Will God come and save me?

Will time stop, 

will I rewind, 

will I die?

Possibilities.

Faith is about jumping, 

eating all the “what if’s” 

without actually digesting them

because there’s still a chance 

while possibilities exist 

And reality, is never as real as they say

You dreamt it, before you got to accomplish it 

I don’t want the answer to my questions

I don’t need them 

I’ll live without knowing 

I’ll love without understanding 

I realize;

not all those who wonder 

have to be lost.
