OLD
Smoke flying swiftly through the air. while it slowly takes over my brain; and i’m finally set free. the elaborate colors mix and become one while they swarm me, making me feel numb and on top of the world. as the smoke begins to grow, i feel infinite. as if no one had ever hurt me before. i began to hear a soft melody and its almost as if the noise was advancing throughout my body leaving my ears in a state of an induced trance. sparks began to fly as the sun slowly started to rise, waking everyone from a soundless slumber. i sat there, and in that moment, time stopped. the only moving object in the world was me. the rest of the world sat still like a painted picture. it was the first moment in my life where i couldn’t feel anything, not one thing in this reckless, broken world mattered. i stood up, pushing the stilled smoke out of my way and took my place at the foot of a motionless sunrise. standing there i was in complete awe of the intoxicating beauty that was before my eyes. nothing moved, nothing went forward, time was at a pause and i had never felt more alive. it was almost like a dream. i stood there shocked with the amount of perfection the world held that somehow, i missed. my heart was racing as i looked at the remarkable sky. the sun had merely risen, yet i could still see the stars from the night before. overwhelmed, i sat. i breathed in and out, the cold air rushed through me and all of the sudden i looked up and noticed the smoke begin to wrap over me once again, and the ripples in the water slowly assembled. even though time had began to continue, i still felt this complete delicacy fill my bones. getting lost in the smoke filled sky, i closed my eyes and took a long breath, and i finally felt peace in my intoxicating world.
