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
