for a second there
i was able to answer
within a second
the riddles of our times
outside the seconds
all those questions
that ever needed
an answer
all those answers
that needed
to be explained
all the time
that was saved
all the time
to be brave
and for a slight second
the universes
opened up and
showed me
my eyes are still dazzled
my throat is still dry
my mind was melted for a moment
i just stared into the sky
a mere malleable mind moment
as i didn't even try
to resist or refrain
and then it was gone
but for a second
a smidge
i was in it
in it truly
(for a second)
balls and all

like a fucking sneeze
This is stunning! This bit rolls off the tongue so well "a mere malleable mind moment"! Great stuff and actually really relatable!
I love this - "and for a slight second the universes opened up and showed me" this was so beautiful to me; I've had moments where I swear I'm on the brink of understanding something huge, and then in a blink, it's gone 🥲 Wonderful job! ❤️
There’s a moment coming. Wait for it. It’s almost here. Just a second… wait for it…, wait for it…, CRAP! It’s gone. … … *sigh* Very cool job Brenton. I like this. And I like the pluralization in “the universes opened up…” Yay multiverse! 🌑🌘🌗🌖🌕🌔🌓🌘🌑
Enlightenment is a beautiful experience! Awesome poem!
