  I could hear your echo calling,   Within the howling breeze, A sound that travelled by wing, And fluttered as time began to cease. The scent of the scattered lilies, Reminded me of your never-ending forests, The ones that hid and sheltered me, And offered a promised sanctuary of rest. The safety encompassed my soul, As I imagined the sunlit mornings, Drenched in a peace that fills the deepest of holes, As my roses carefully bloomed in yearning.

I miss your warmth, I truly do, The one felt from my mind’s wistful trees, The sun that glinted against the river of blue, And the way time had ceased, or so it seemed. Why do I miss it?

Tell me, will we ever truly know, Of the enigma we call living in this world? Of the beauty and grace of the universe out of reach, Of the curiosity and wonder of our colorful land of

My eyes locked shut, I completely allowed my body to exist in whatever this environment may be.   ‘Where am I?’ ‘What am I doing?’ ‘How am I here?’ These phrases swarmed my brain, bees of panic attacking my logical frame of thinking as my heart palpitated in a state of distress. As if my head were a ticking time bomb, set to erupt at any given moment. ‘Really… Where am I?’ … Open. The thought once more pressed against me, ushering deeper. Deeper within, harder toward my mind’s eye. Please… Open. I sensed this to be of no threat to me. I realized this as my once fear filled heart had been replaced with one of slight ease and repose, my tenseness noticeably lessening as a tie would untangle.   I am asking you… to open.   The calling became clearer. Open your eyes. And I did just that. … As my orbs wandered , my vision attem
