I drift listlessy through the murky waters and think, not about life and the menial and trivial diffficulties that we all face. I think not about the struggles and battles that some fight everyday. It does not even cross my mind that some must fight to survive in a war against not just nature but humanity aswell. No! As I slowly float further and further away from the rivers shore, as does my mind from the problem of the shore dwellers and towards that which means the most to me. My possessions? Replaceable. My friends? Expendable. My feelings? Ever- changing. Everchanging that is aside from one, a feeling of a connection, a bond, a pure unbridled passionate presence that overwhelms the senses and turns rationality into a mere subconscious annoyance, like the nagging feeling that a light has been left on in the back room.
It's this love feeling, inexplicable, indescribable, unbelieveable yet here it is, staring me right in the eyes with it's huge hazel orbs telling me that nothing is important but this one feeling and that this feeling must be cherished and protected, cuddled close to the heart and fresh in the mind constantly. It's there when I sleep, converting my once nightmarish visions of half sleeping delusions into something much more blissful, with a soothing Voice it lulls me into that state of sweet inebriation
This feeling cradles me, and reminds me constantly that it is to be preserved and you know what, when I look at it, into the huge hazel orbs, the mystifying shapes take hold of a much more feminine human shape and gains the voice of an angel. And when that feeling takes the perfect form it speaks to me. She speaks to me and I don't have to ask what to call her.
I can already feel the perfect name. I call her emma and she means to me, more than the plight of the world, more to me than the shades of my nightmares. More to me than anything else. And she's my one and only.
