What if...?

What if all that we believed in faded away before our very eyes?

What if all that we fought and stood for crumbled and disintegrated to ashes and dust?

What if all that we hoped for and placed our trust in turned out to be nothing more than lifelong delusions or misshapen illusions?

What if all that we loved and cared for died and withered away in our desperate embrace?

What if all that we have held on to so firmly and securely are ripped away and torn from us?

What if all that we have dared to step out into in faith and clarity became a sudden blur and darkness?

What if all that we have immersed ourselves into turned out to be murky, turbid seas of enigma and death?

What if all that we have cherished, all the promises made, all the life lived, all the time invested, all the relationships formed, all the dreams dreamed, all the visions pursued, all the futures anticipated, all the goodness experienced, all the joy poured out, all the fellowship shared, all the sacrifices laid down, all the faith believed in, and all the hope grasped turned out to be nothing more than nothingness in the end?
