I arose to the scent of ashes. A quick peak out the window and I see the sun. It's closer to the earth than the moon now. The giant orb in which it forms watches; haunting me. Telling me to come closer. I shut the blinds and it retaliates. Bursting from the soft yellow to charred oranges and blacks, the beads of sweat between its pores yelling at me. The shock in my face that I am playing roulette, that I am playing with fate, never fades. And in those few seconds between then and now I realize that I am in the middle of death. My life cycle is just another inevitable sorrow, surrounded by two barriers leading to pain. So I step back, From the window sill. I crawl back into my dreams. Where the time seems to disperse at all of my requests.

I arose to the scent of ashes. A quick peak out the window and I see the sun. It's closer to the earth than the moon now. The giant orb in which it forms watches; haunting me. Telling me to come closer. I shut the blinds and it retaliates. Bursting from the soft yellow to charred oranges and blacks, the beads of sweat between its pores yelling at me. The shock in my face that I am playing roulette, that I am playing with fate, never fades. And in those few seconds between then and now I realize that I am in the middle of death. My life cycle is just another inevitable sorrow, surrounded by two barriers leading to pain. So I step back, From the window sill. I crawl back into my dreams. Where the time seems to disperse at all of my requests.
Referring to a dream I had about an exploded sun. This is in inspired by how it made me feel emotionally and how it played with my sense and knowledge of death being unable to cheat.
