unsuspecting, i find myself in the midst of an unfamiliar haze. as the fog clears, i look for my fears, but they seem to have been misplaced. in their place is a new world around me, not fulfilled, but oh so promising. i hoped for this, but i did not expect it this way. the sun is high in the sky, and everything is bright and new. it's so surreal, but i dare to believe its truth. it has its flaws, of course, as any world, but i am content to explore and then overlook them. i swim up to the sky's peak to taste a bit of cloud, and i harmonize with the birds. everything seems so simple, so light, so tangible here. basking in the sun's warmth, in the warmth of my own euphoria, i close my eyes...
when i open them, they smile into the dark. my security and peace lingers for a few more moments, and the taste of all things sweet spreads over my tongue in remembrance. i realize that i hear a blaring instead of birdsong, summoning me from my warm bliss. it promises that every night turns into a new, real morning.
