In all its splendour
It's like a bright spark flashing across your eyes.
And in that moment, everything seems so colourful.
In every word and every move
holds a euphoric vibrancy you've never felt before.
It's as if all the planets aligned for you
to hold all the beauty of the earth in your palm.
You have seen how brightly the sun can shine.
How each spectrum of colour separates
to form the perfection of a rainbow.
It feels as if all the blessings of the earth rained down on you at once.
You memorise every second that passes in its significance
and wish for the moment to never end.
With a flicker, it fades as quickly as it came.
All of a sudden, it hits you.
Life can't go back to what it was before.
You had seen too much of splendour
and the brilliant light has made the darkness
More noticeable.
More unbearable.
What had captured your heart and arrested all your senses
for that brief moment,
you will not fully experience again.
Not for a long time.
Possibly never again in your lifetime.
How do you continue with life after that?
