My World

Have you ever closed your eyes and been whisked away to another world? A world of your most precious dreams that lures you in, wraps around you, and holds you tightly in its embrace? Its warming touches mystify you, and as you slowly lose yourself, it comes and offers to rescue you.

I've closed my eyes. And I'm there, in my strange and fabulous world. A world unknown to others and yet familiar to so many. I see myself, I see you, I see us. Alone, together, stronger. Miles apart. Miles between seem like a distance I can conquer. And when I get there, I'l walk back through the door, leaving all over again. The unknown is the adventure I seek.

I could lay with you under the bare sky, feeling just as naked, and watch the candles reflecting in the stars above and the earth merging into heaven beyond in one single line. I wonder if when I fall you'll be there to catch me, but when I turn, you begin to melt away - my love, my illusion. And it's not you that I need. It's this world...

I'll stand alone against it. If I fall, I'll land on my feet, like a cat, jumping off at my own risk. Graceful and soft. So safe in its embrace.

I will open my eyes again, when my world lets me go. And I'll know that I can run and catch the wind and if you want, you can too. Together we can make the oceans sing and the air dance around in a million little sparks.
