Infinite

What do you know about the infinite?
About everything that could ever have been.
All the different permutations
And combinations.
Did you ever think it would be this one way?
One without one. 
One too far from the sun. 
Did you ever think you could escape?
Of all the possibilities,
And realities,
You live this one.
One without one.
Too far away from the sun. 
Dark and unforgiving,
Painful reliving.
What do you know about the infinite?
Do you ever think of everything you know?
Of all the books you ever read?
And the movies you watched? 
Or art that made you feel? 
Do you think about who you are?
And who you were when you watched those movies?
Or read those books or admired those creations? 
Movies and books mean different things to you,
Art makes you feel something new each time you witness it,
Each word written, each stroke of the brush,
Means something you haven’t felt before.
It is the infinite. 
One without one.
Another day around the sun. 
And so goes another year,
And a decade or a lifetime,
Relive them all, reread those books,
Rewatch those movie and revisit those places.
Because you are not you,
You are something new. 
Don’t miss out the first time,
And don’t forget to relive it either.

It is time.

How I have missed you?
Being a part of you.
Feeling things long lost,
tasting a forgotten memory.
Why be elusive?
Why be someone else?
Why care about the world?
Lets burn it all down,
Let take each thing apart,
one by one.
Let us rebuild it all anew. 
Let us recreate, remould. 
Sit up now,
time to wake up. 
You have been drugged for far too long,
The haze is waning,
Numbness fading. 
It is all coming back.
Look up now,
Nobody's here. 
Nobody ever was. 
Or has been. 
Or ever will.
It is just you,
and will always be,
Just you.
Stand up now.
Scream into the void.
Shout it out loud,
and walk away.
For this nothingness will never remember,
will never respond. 
So take what is yours,
burn them old bridges,
and memories,
and hopes.
Let's dream again.
And this time, 
Let us not care. 
Lets go back to the place, 
when you started,
and undo everything. 

Let us rebuild.
Relearn.
Recreate. 
Reclaim. 
It is time.
