"We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment in life is
a miracle and a mystery."
~H.G. Wells

In the moment before
I go

my soul will sink
for the last time
because you
never loved me
never believed me
never wanted to know…
and then I will fly
because you
helped me to hold on
to faith and this life
and changed for me
the moments after.

In the moment after
I go

my soul will come
and surround you
like the wind
in sweet Autumn
and tell you I'm well
and you'll care that I am
and then you will know
the whole truth,
which may or may not
set you free but which
will change for you
the moments after.
