I stare into the ripple in still water
I take one last breath
I push my self into its epicenter

As I slip beneath the surface
I panic
flailing my arms and legs
for I cannot swim
But the water seems to expand
as it engulfs me
The water greets my eyes
and I see clearly

my muscles relax
My legs fuse together
My feet grow flat and wide

I am running out of oxygen
But I feel the benevolence
all around me.
I trust myself
Opening my mouth wide
water rushes down my throat
into my lungs
and out the freshly forming slits on my neck

I swim
I swim
I swim

what a perfect escape
no need to return to the surface
not for any air
not for any person
In these ripples of still water
I can simply be
who I have chosen to be

there  is no single word
for the feelings I felt
each emotion
consumed my mind
and my body
I resonated
the spirit love
I was the incarnation
of happiness and joy

all despair transformed
into jovial laughter
all tears
made of of sugar water
Unfading smiles
painted on our faces

for the hours
we were all there is
nothing existed
out side of that room.
evan if anything did
it held no significance

as I looked at you
and you looked at me
I knew
you felt what I thought
I though how you were feeling

out side of our reality
there was nothing
only we mattered
for us everything was perfect
those movements were devine
I wished it could be like that for ever
but of course  it couldn't
things had to return to normal

Its a year later
the same man
the ghost from before
I see now
full of life
like a remastered disney movie

skin now with color
spirit reinvigorated
words with meaning
thoughts other then escape
desires deeper
than the bliss he sought after
from before

but his eyes remain the same
his pupils
battered and bruised
they say more than he says

his eyes remain in the past
shackled by what he was
unrestorable
like an over exposed negative


Im still working on this, ide be happy to here critiques

The universe
With all its mystery
Everything constructed
with infinite complexity
Yet comes together
with such simplicity

There's the stars
and there's the sun
Giving us light and warming the earth
From this the plants came forth
They live their life
Giving us the oxygen
Upon which we rely
Now the planets inhabitable
But we must become collaboratble

So respect the earth
From it we came forth
love the air
and the ground
love every person
every plant
love every part of this great planet
