The Bell Rings and school is out…
I stand up from my desk as I throw my bag over my shoulder; students go rushing by as they swarm for the doorway…
I turn my head and stare out the window.
I begin to get lost in my own thoughts as the chaos and noise begin to fade out.
Staring into the skies blue abyss I feel myself drifting away. . .
Suddenly I am ripped back to reality as a fellow classmate shoulder checks me nearly taking me to the floor, reaching out for the nearest desk I catch myself from falling, when I look up and they have vanished, I am the last person left in the room…
I exit the classroom as I head towards the bus home…
It’s so strange, I find myself becoming lost in thought more and more these days.
Constantly I catch myself slipping into an almost trance like state, lost in thought as I begin to cancel out my surroundings.
The longer I am in this state the more vivid visions become…
I finally reach the bus as it gets ready for departure, I climb on and find a seat towards the back as I put in my headphones and I feel my eyes grow heavy…
In the darkness of my eyelids images begin to form…
I see lush shades of Blues, and Purples swirling through vast landscapes…
Ever changing geometric patterns move along the environment interchanging continuously like looking through a moving kaleidoscope…
I walk through the sky towards the mountains
The closer I walk towards the mountains the further they move away, The world transforms below me as I traverse over Forests, over Cities, Over Deserts, Overseas …
The Bus comes to a screeching halt and I awake to the Bus Driver yelling “FINAL STOP!”
I get off the bus quietly as its tires kick up dust when it passes
What was that that just happened?
It was so surreal…
Like a living dream, I’ve never experienced something so vivid in my own thoughts, but what’s even more strange is I feel as if I’ve been there before, it had this familiar quality to it, as if I’d been there my entire life.
I walk home, and ponder the experience, perhaps putting too much thought into it.
Time soars by when I finally get to my house, hours go by like mere seconds and I find the time has already reached 12:34 AM…
I decide to turn in for the night so I go use the restroom and brush my teeth before sleep, I return to my room and undress as I get into my night clothes.
Shutting the light off I lie down in bed and set my alarm…
I begin to relax as I feel like I’m falling though an open void.
I open my eyes and am blanketed in darkness…
I am in my room no longer; I reach out into the vast empty space as I feel my body drifting off into the nothingness…
Where am I?
I try to yell out, but my voice remains silent…
I feel a strange pressure grow heavier against my body.
I hear an alienated voice tell me “Everything will be okay”.
I look down and see a light in the distance, I turn my body towards it as I begin to try and swim through the air.
With every second the light grows brighter as I near its opening finally bursting through…
The sight is Serene…
I find myself in the same forest as before on the bus but its different, There is a distorted haze this time around, the scenery changes from forest to city to deserts and oceans more rapidly now…
I see landscapes from all over the world.
Geometric transformation becomes less subtle and begins transforming so quickly it begins to become all I can see...
I begin to walk around over the shifting realm towards a set of Amethyst Mountains out in the distance.
Unlike before the mountains begin to move away from me…
I feel my heartbeat in my chest as I get closer.
Suddenly the world begins to disintegrate at an astonishing rate and bright streaks of light blur my vision, I find myself in outer space as I approach the mountain top…
At the peak of the mountain there is a mouth to a cave its entrance looks like a wall of liquid mercury…
I land on the ledge before it and approach slowly…
I touch the entrance and it ripples like water…
A light travels up my arm from the point of contact…
I reach further into the opening as the substance moves out engulfing my body…
I feel it suffocating me, whatever this substance is begins creeping down into my body and into my lungs.
I make one last attempt for a breath of air as I lose consciousness…
With blurred vision I awaken in an empty hallway as I cough up mouthfuls of the shining mercury like substance…
I stand up and look down a dark corridor which appears to be endless…
I begin embarking down the path before me as the floor begins to illuminate before me…
One step in front of the other I feel myself begin to gain energy as I move further, slowly I begin to pick up speed, and before I realize it I find myself running…
I don’t know where I am going but I run manic like I’ve been here before, a spiritual pressure pushes me from behind as I run with the current…
In the distance a doorway stands before me emitting bright light…
I slow down as I approach its entrance…
There are objects floating in the air as I get closer…
What is this?
These are items from my childhood…
My blanket, my teddy bear, my old coat…
I feel tears come to my eyes for some reason when I see these things and I bury in my face in my arm, as I look up a photo lands before me…
A photo of my mother and myself before she passed away…
I feel myself fall to my knees I begin to cry as her memory sets in…
I feel a hand touch my shoulder and the pain begins to reside, I feel a positive energy as I am picked up to my feet…
Slowly I approach the doorway as it blinds my vision…
I breach through the light in a haze and as my eyes adjust I see a child’s silhouette standing before me.
As we approach one another they reach their hand up towards me and place their hand on my solerplex…
An electric shock overwhelms my body as I see my life rush before me…
Every good memory appears before me.
In a burst of light I am released from my paralysis and I find myself standing before the child again…
As I look towards the silhouette I hear its voice…
My voice whispers “Goodbye”…
I wake up in a sweat in my bedroom as I get out of bed and take a step outside…
