I awake to a world unfamiliar, my surrounding not the same, the sand beneath, crushed up glass, the color, eton blue, the sky beyond me, a different hue, the same color, but time changes all, mist in the eves of the earth, as it heaves, trees rise from the sand, reaching farther than the eye can see, the water at the end, ripples and fades, colorless and grey, a reflection of the same above, a mirror to a parallel world, pallid, pensive, a contemporary of my own.
