When you close your eyes and all you see is eternity in ways you can never describe. When you lie shivering almost naked, blanketed by a darkness that stops your heart. There is someone else beside you, but for reasons unexplained it feels like you’re alone; abandoned by the world you know almost nothing of.
You try to reach out but your body is frozen in place and a painful fury of emotion chokes you as your eyes suddenly open and all that stares back is an empty cloud of tired frustration. You want to be held, to be caressed and lovingly touched but nothing happens and you are pulled deeper into this state of mock depression.
There is a tune that plays a melody so haunting, a piano piece that molds itself perfectly to these words. a song so complementary to my tired demeanor, it’s almost disturbing.
I want to stop time.
Stop these games of constant rush and be swept away slowly, certainly like a leaf carried by the gentle current of a stream’s peaceful lead.
To stop your time and take away all that is constantly causing a cease on the soft folds of your forehead. Take away time for a brief period of your life, away from these disruptive patterns of phonecalls and deadlines to meet.
Close your eyes and hold my hands. There really is so much more to life than meets the eye.
All you need to do is breathe.
And there i will stand, ready and as fleeting as the wishful wind; a child wide eyed and as innocent as can be.
