If The World Was Ending: A Poem

Let's slow down a beat, have our eyes meet.

If The World Was Ending: A Poem
Sabrina Andersonn

If tomorrow was blurry and uncertain

Would unravel your thoughts and pull back the curtain

Talk to me like it's the first time we met

Endless learning of you like no time had been set

Reading your body language

Oh my God how your eyes speak

You have been wondering for a while

Your mind runs faster than your feet

But let's slow down a beat

Have our eyes meet

Time has no say here, please take a seat

If the world was ending

What would you say

If I told you we had less than 24 hours

How much attention would you pay

To things you've lost or the ones you never had

Would you relish in the moment or reflect from the past

If the world was ending

Tell me if you're afraid of what happens next

If this is all over... then no conversation is too complex

When stars are dropping and foundations are collapsing

Clocks have stopped turning and nobody is reacting

While buildings are failing and all the glass shatters

Break down your walls and tell me what really matters

When the skies turn to gray and the sun is more

I pray you found peace with the man who'll stand at the door

I can speak freely, no more pretending

Just for tonight talk to me as

If the world was ending

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
