When You're Here

Breathe in the energy

Inhale the intoxicating scent

Of your hopes and dreams resting, on one moment

At one time a second and infinite

 

Open your eyes under the blinding lights

Don't look down

Careful now

You're standing on a precipice

 

All at once you are alive

All at once you are terrified

You were born in this moment

This is your first real breath

 

Anticipation slams into your heart

Taste fear in the air

Taste hope in the air

Look around, take in your infinity

 

Every step taken is practiced

Yet every movement feels new

Be brave

This, is your moment

 

You are what the world has waited for

Every man has lived for this moment

People would kill for this moment

You are all that exists

 

You are Allah

You are God

You are Buddah

You are Christ

You are every soul reincarnate

You are all of everything

 

The universe moves with you

for you

through you

against you

 

Yet it is silent

In an instant it is over

And becomes just another memory

Just a video online

 

But you know the truth,

It is more than that

It is the meaning in existance

The moment where you are finally alive
