It was cool and delightful against my skin like an autumn forest
morning with a tepid breeze...
Slight goose-bumps covered my skin as I inhaled new crisp air into my
lungs. Light was what I felt and what my eyes saw as well. Everything
before me was born of radiance and I was weightless within it. It was
glowing and calm. What a gentle dream this is, I
thought. I wanted to envelope this everything into my being. I
wanted to be it. What did all this mean? I’m not sure because the
thoughts that were caressing my mind were unlike anything that I’ve ever
experienced. I moved as I thought
forward….moving…thinking…slowly…forward. There was no going back….only to
proceed. Even though this is true with anything as time only goes one
way; here it had a different meaning. It was more a finality that I had
ever known. Like walking away from someone and not being able to turn
your head around for one last look, no matter how hard you tried. The
choice was easy as the freshness of the cooled untainted environment gave new
meaning to elation. I took another step and my foot sank and gave way to
a grand lake of crystal clearness that surrounded me...
Colors flashed before my eyes that I had never seen before, thus completely
nameless and leaving my mind in a tailspin of question marks. I lifted my
arms up as I drifted downward. Not being pulled but almost like I was
guiding myself in that direction; moving with the current of my hearts
wishes. This was the way and nothing was pushing against me. Past
tears dried up along with unloving words, both becoming nonexistent.
Internal contradictions at battle in my own skull that I had painfully become
accustomed to were now silenced for good. Such a melodic silence.
The understanding fell upon me like a warm soft blanket as my feet landed on
the cool watery surface of my new world.
That above was death and this below is life...
...and then there you were
to seal my fate with a kiss...

ReplyDeletethat blew my mind and melted my heart and sizzled my meat pies all at the same time sweet pea. i read that three times just now and it gets better and wetter with each read. i’ll be adding it to my chimes file and reading it again again and by that time i’ll be drowning in a pool of cherry chime milky grime. its like you perfectly captured the before, during and after of what life was and became and will be now that we both were pulled from the wretched tides of malodorous murk by the hands of love and now we frolic in filth and fervor for forever more more and even more. thank you for this my love. you made bunglechimes for me. i am touched where it most counts. in my soul. i love you.
