The Disappearance

I admit this one is kind of weird and a little plodding to get through!

Side note: This was written on November 11, plus it was an entirely unintentional thing to have this story run its course in exactly eleven verses. (11:11:11)

The Disappearance

Do you remember how we were running towards nothing?
Do you remember how it felt so damn good?
It didn't matter we were running from something
Something neither of us understood

It came upon us about half past Midnight
Crazy thing to happen at such a late hour
We'd just finished making love for the third time
And mystics say that three's a number of power

All at once there was an eerie sort of silence
As if there wasn't such a thing as sound
Couldn't even hear each other's heavy breathing
We started freaking as we looked all around

Holding hands we floated slowly to the ceiling
Each second, screaming out in fear and delight
Knew right then just how a feather could be feeling
The room was all aglow in blue electric light

Then suddenly surrounded by a thousand spirits
Or were they points of light, we just weren't sure
They were flying in a dance of dizzy circles of
Resplendent rainbow energies of love so pure

Voices in our heads then said this all together
"The Guardians have granted you the power to heal
Both of you together will serve humanity forever
What you see when you arise will not seem real!"

Before the dawn arrived we woke up in a cold sweat
Felt the waves of heat before the sun even rose
Something different in the way that we saw things
Everything was moving indescribably slow

First we thought you all were trying to ignore us
Then to our horror it soon became quite clear
We were moving way too fast for you to see us
Next day the papers said that people disappeared

Was this what they had always said about the Rapture
People taken straight to heaven with angels to abide?
But how on earth could we then serve all humanity
When humans could not even see us at their side?

We have since learned of the truth behind our purpose
One could say we focus on the future of your youth
Meaningless is time to us since time is an illusion
And love of life is the purpose behind every truth

One day you too will learn it's all about vibration
That each thing in the universe has it's own rate
That there is but one universal law in all creation:
Whatever things you think about will be your fate
