When Heaven and Earth Collide

Were I to tell you about happiness, I would not say it. I would describe the smile of naivete, the beauty of a new sunrise or the solace in forgiveness. If I spoke of sadness, I would not say it. I would explain the agony in loss, the pain of existence or the song of the lonesome. So what then shall I say? This happening was a chance. An unfortunate fluke with lackadaisical time. It would be a lie to say there was not an emotion worth having that was not had. Nevertheless, there are chains that bind us and truths that free us. The creature of desire was always bound. Thus it was never born. Mine were the keys to the cage for that creature and my choice was to release it not. If there is a reason to be told or a justification to shield with then it would be none other than integrity or perchance a precaution. Had that creature been born, it may have mauled each of us. My judgement has it so that the unseen bests the seen in ultimate reality. As such, to revel in the seen renders the unseen possibly unsalvagable. Truth be told, 'twas not out of fear, but respect and honor, that those keys were not used. Finally, at a time as there was near the end. I would be distraught to destroy a bond that was already ratified and in the process of crystallization. That also weighed my decision. So please understand that if nothing else, the spark that may have lit a wildfire was extinguished to save as many trees as possible.

I cared.
