Maybe Next Time
A palm tree… nothing but a palm tree but enough to remind me of a smile. I feel life, I see joy in the wind, I smell fresh, I enjoy beauty again… a few thousand miles away from what seems to make up a home but just enough to realize once again that I’m lost.
As I have no choice but to blend in with everything that’s around me I stop fighting it and just let go. After a short period of no ideas I fully disconnect… It slowly becomes to feel truly like a home… But it has no walls!! and I’m lying down on sand and it feels better than any mattress I tried… I turn my head to the right and follow my fingers as they slowly dance in the sand much as playing in a beautiful girl’s hair only this one has seen, heard, smelled and felt more than all of our species will ever do. I turn excited to my left to follow my other hand but I am being stopped by the beautiful image in front of me and weird enough is not a plasma screen but a blue infinite filled with stars. I close my eyes and I turn it off… I’ll only open them to see a smile this time… that’s what I thought!! Said and done… I close them again and think of opening them only to see an angel… I do it again and again and amazingly I know exactly where to turn my head so the stars shape whatever I want to see… and then it hits me… I have full control over it and nothing is resisting. Of course not! I am part of it as much as it is part of me. I am finally home.
Now give it a rest and come out and share it! As I turn off the image I tell myself that the next time I open my eyes I want to see her smiling next to me. My palms instantly sweat of emotion and impatience to share being free with her… I complete my head movement towards my left hand where I wanted to find her… lightning strikes me… it rains for a full day after… I have to get out now!!
I leave it all there and keep smiling… it could have been but it was not… I am here, you are there… No questions asked…
Maybe next time.
