OFF

Sometimes I wish God had created our brains with an on-off switch.

Where is the balance?
Between thinking too much and not enough...

Where is that equilibrium
of heart and head?



My thoughts are bubbles
that burst into drops
of confusion.
Joy and melancholy.
Hope and despair.
One cannot be without the other.
How can I want only those
that are deemed by mankind
to be the better.


Are not both sides of the scale necessary?
Do they not both make us all human after all?



I imagine that some are born
into this world
with more of an affinity
to be happy.

Other some
not so.
We fight the darkness
that threatens to overthrow.
Constantly.
Perpetually.
Seeking,
dancing,
taunting.


If this life is the only one we are conscious of
the only we can understand,
imagine
and comprehend...

What is the merit of this sole existence?
How can one make
judgements
of this life
when there is nothing
to compare with it?


If the world came to an end
today
tomorrow
right now,
I would hold no regrets
in the palm of my hand.

I have tasted
seen
and heard.


So when it is time,
and my Maker decides,
I will go quietly
into the night.
