Quintessence

Everything is different now. Yet something still keeps us from flying away into this new atmosphere. 
Everything is gone now. Yet there is a certain familiarity that embraces us. 
We are all separated. Yet there is a bond that keeps everyone close. 
Everything is unstable. Yet there is something there that keeps us from falling. 
Nothing is normal. Yet there is a simple reassurance that keeps us from progressing into the depths of negativity. 
Everything has changed. But I am still alive. 
And I don't know why.
