A windfall

Someday, someone will uncover this,
tucked within the undisturbed pages,
eagerly waiting to be discovered.

Long-forgotten tales dissipate with change, vanishing into the currents of time. I ponder the fate of ours. One day, I might deliberate on meticulously documenting the events, while on other days, I push away the notion of piecing together those moments. They're akin to holding a delicate butterfly, with just enough tension to grasp and enough slack to let go. But in reality, what do I truly possess when my hands are empty?

Could it be deemed a windfall, pronounced above all?

Anagram?

I can't remember what is it called.

But for the mind, there's a conflict, an irresolvable conflict - with intellect, Psychic Dissonance.
