Crossroads- a Night Flight

I can hear the silence again I can take back the time to think, to feel, to just breathe. I have held out my hand to slow down time and I have floated back down to myself returned to my body for a while, you see; I am here just on loan. I dont know if I can lose myself again, lose myself to the fear of living, fear of the inevitable, fear of pain inescapable so I think I'm just gonna ride on out on this illusion wave and, you know- If you find a rock to cling to, and it breaks away suddenly, and you find another rock to cling to, and it also uproots itself as well, and you feel uneasy without solid ground you gotta just learn how to be at ease with floating till you gather the courage to fly away into the unknown and pardon my sudden departure. but the next flight is at 12 sharp and its already a quarter to midnight
