A philosophical poem about people's reaction to points of time and energy.
Specific points of time

People have the gift to recognize when they are involved in moments of great energy.
We take in a small portion of the immensity of existence
But what seems to us as if all the energy of our collective experience has gathered in our bones.
We are overwhelmed by it
we channel it through our thoughts
It arrives as emotion.
Depression
Anxiety
Joy
Rage
The manifestations build up as the situation become more complex.
We feel more
We question our experience more
As the rush washes over us
We become overwhelmed by our feelings
The flux of energy flows between the people involved
Until it reaches a point of pure frenzy
A point at which those emotions may cause the final destruction of the being they occupy.
The point at which you and a person realize there is no more.
A point you cannot drag yourself away from.
A point that holds onto you
Summoning all the energy of everything you’ve known of yourself
Of your other
and connecting you as one.
But foolishly you break away from that point
Trusting in time and not the other.
Trusting in the safeness of experience.
Denying moments
Never living in specific points of time.
