A Lifetime in an Instant

Is this the place between worlds, between journeys and lifetimes? Is this the glue of a past and a future, the present between unknown memories and undiscovered possibilities? If I look back, I see the the records of a forgotten age, the last traces of lost things. If I look forward, I see more records, more of this endless place, more of this unknown. I know I will be carried from this darkness; be taught to fear it. I know I will be taught to fear the darkness; fall back into it. We will see fleeting light; the brightest from others. I may see confidence, I may see loneliness. This place is endless, I know. But we eventually all leave, in peace, in violence, on accident and on purpose. When we see that exit, we will have been taught to run from it. But there is no escape from another endless place. I gaze into the abyss; yet it no longer seems so threatening. ...was born on December 31st, 2019, at precisely 12:00 at night...
