In The Void

Once, everything stopped.
The wind stopped blowing,
The earth stopped turning,
Rivers stopped flowing,
The sun stopped burning.

All the while, I was awake.

For a fleeting moment,
A fragment of time,
Everything around me stopped.

And I was wide awake.

Who could I tell?
Who would believe me?
I was the only one there.
Alone in the void.

Wide, wide awake.

At least I was the only one there,
Who knew I was there.
I know I was there.

I know I was.

I was!

I was!!

I am!!!
