night before morning

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.
