"Awakened"

Flying in a sailboat made of reeds. Looking up, the world was still gently gazing back at me. Picked up a leaf as the wind backed off and started to row. Rudderless, the dream wandered as far as the imagination could see. Deeper now, into the depths of the soul. Happiness, a blissful rage, was the calm at the center of the storm. White knuckled, rocking side to side, hoping to witness the shore. However, seeing eye to eye, we both knew the story had been told. The only thing left was to live the Lie, like it had never been spoken.
I am a nothing dreaming of something unknown.

    intense, but in an indirect and very subtle way. in a way that's full of beautiful imagery, light and airy, undermined by this lie

    had to read it a few times to fully digest it and let the images unfold separately. i like it. looking forward to more :)
