If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.
-- Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights


There is always a time I remember,
Outside the space of reality, out of the world itself,
Precious and permanent and easy,
Like breathing for the first time.
The seconds stretch and reality swells,
And it always ends.
There is always a time that gets lost,
As we go deeper, for initial discovery
Wasn't meant to last.
The sweetness springs back,
And boundaries drop down slowly,
Quietly, a soft death,
Gentle disappointment.
There is always a time that recedes
As the moments pass by
Like they were meant to do,
And loss rears its head
Again.
