What If?

What if? Written 8/10/2025 1:04am by The Luna Projects. Poem about possibilities of what the meaning of life really is, alternate ideas of what it is all about, an exploration of my thoughts.

They told us life was about choices, but no one mentioned we were archivists.

Every sleepless night, every hour lost to chasing the life of a poet long dead or the voice of a singer we’d never hear in person, these weren’t just idle obsessions. We were saving coordinates. Recording time-stamps.

We thought we were scrolling.

We were traveling.

When the body stops, the archive wakes.

And you find yourself not as a ghost, but as a passenger stepping out into the places you once dreamed of:

The smoky bar where the jazz legend plays one last set.

The quiet study where the author you almost became hands you a book you never wrote.

The moonlit city you glimpsed once in a photograph but could never name.

It is then you understand

We were always time travelers.

This world was only the download.

The next one is where you press *play*.

Author's Note

I thank you for your time in reading my poetry and would like feedback or reviews.

I love the way you reframe life as not just choices but as a process and quietly waiting for the next “play.”
