High-speed

I'm not hiding,
I'm just hidden

It's covered but exposed, surrounded, enclosed
I'm standing alone in a place where no one goes, a place not many of you know
Another world within the light and the images that pass before your eyes in any given minute
But I'll try to show you where it's hidden

It's someplace I like to collect all the things I missed, placed carefully in a box, wrapped neatly like birthday gifts, peeking inside to remember what it is to open my eyes and truly see
There are presents in here for you and for me but we gotta find and open them before it's too late
No expiration date but nothing lasts forever

In the craziness of life, through hustle and bustle and sometimes strife, always moving, always going but never really knowing what we're doing or why
It's easy to skip over the little things, microorganisms unseen by the naked eye upon first and second glances
But don't miss the chances they give you to experience, to breathe in and breathe out, to know without a doubt what it means to be alive

You could call it my happy place but to me it's just empty space where I can create and commemorate that which makes the biggest impression
Invisible expression, concrete blocks for my imaginary box of secrets, physical statues made of rocks that don't exist
This is where I close my eyes and I am gently kissed by all the beauty and awe that you missed
It's like the real world with a twist

You're more than welcome to join me in my safe place that holds no trace of anything face-paced
But be warned: you see it everyday but it's hard to find
It may not be what you had in mind

So come find me in the space between the lines, find me in the chorus between the notes, in the grace between the raindrops, in the pause within your pulse, in the silence between heartbeats

No rules or laws or appointments or calls
Not here, there, or anywhere
Just moments
Breaths
Heartbeats

It's hard to explain when you're going insane from the serene sound of hundredths of seconds whizzing through your brain like a high-speed camera speeding through endless frames of beauty and color

But you'll understand once you see it
I promise
And then you'll wonder how you never knew it was there before, here, there, everywhere
Right in front of your eyes

So now that you know where I'll be, come and find me
You'll see
