Watching as the brakes Fall on my existence Leaving control somewhere Back in the distance Rushing feeling Sense of falling Will my feet ever touch the ground Something took me with no warning I know not why or to where I'm bound Mortality Living the life of a fly Hurtling headlong over the ocean Can't seem to arrest This perpetual motion Suddenly flying More than falling But no sense of direction Something pulls me to my calling Like a spirit to ascension Mortality Gone in the blink of a cosmic eye Faster and faster the candle burns low The accelerated flame Is the soonest to go The boy child who wept when he first Learned of death His father's words stayed with him Till his last breath A man looks to the heavens Father can you hear? Please help me to understand Why am I here Mortality Conscious of life speeding by Mortality Make a choice slow down or die Slow down or die Slow down or die In the blink of an eye Slow down or die Mortality
