This

I believe in this.
This...
Intangible thing
It sweeps you off your feet
and carries you away

This...
This condition.
This clouded perception,
Encased in shards of light

I believe in this.
This...
Calm.
This surrender.
This ocean of silence.

This...
This direction.
This one-step-at-a-time.
Follow.

Follow,
Follow.

I believe in this.
This...
Inferno.
This combustion.
This.
Already entombed under six feet of ash

I believe in this.
This...
Vulnerability.
This barren space.
This wasteland.
I give it to you.

I believe in this.
This...
Foundation.
This solidified movement.
Please,
Come and set me free.

This...
This exhilaration.
This breeze.
Such a gentle touch,
Can you feel it?

I believe in this.
This...
Shadow.
This haunting.
This wretched decay.

This...
This filth.
Cleanse your hands;
This is best left behind.

I believe in this.
This...
Elixir.
This substance.
Allow us just a sample;
a taste is all you'll need.

This...
This harmony.
This song.
This...
Delicately crafted notation.

Dance!
Dance for me and cry.
Promise to live,
And understand that you'll die.

I believe in this.
This...
Intangible thing.
This emotion.
This awakening perception.

This...
This inevitability.
This apprehension.
This...

This I believe in.
