Another MomentAs The National plays in the background, the pulsating beats makes you feet shiver non-stop, as you figure out the feelings that you want to put into words. As Mistaken for Strangers drone on, with the vocalist sings in a detached way, yet fitting for a song that sounded like marching drums, you stop and wonder how your life has been now, at this instant point in time. As the song slowly dies down, you allow yourself another smile, forget your worries for that single moment, and all you want to do it for time to stop, and let it sink into your heart.Slowly, you wonder whether everything that has happened has been something out of a dream. You sit alone in your room, and all you see are empty ghosts, whispering to you to follow them around. You sit alone in your room, and all you see are broken pasts, urging you to continue walking their doomed paths. You sit alone in your room, and all you see are disappearing happiness, cajoling you to come hither with them. You sit alone in your room, and all you see suddenly is nothingness. And there is just a single bright spark in all the cacophony in your head. But that single bright spark is enough to bring you through your troubles, as you let yourself a huge grin, at how fortunate, how lucky you have been, how immensely happy it has been for you. And at that single period, another moment approaches and all you think of, all you can think of is that. The image quickly fades, but the lingering feeling holds on to your soul, and it wont break free. Neither do you will it to break free. The future beckons, but all you can think of is the present, and that is all you want for now. As The National continue their tirade against the silences of the darkening past, you watched as more words appear on screen, each breaking into meanings that only you will understand. As Green Gloves plays on, the Boxer lays it final touch. But only for tonight, as the next day brings another new mystery, and longing to be satisfied and contained.
