Amidst the warmth of a golden day,
Reality alighted on my shoulders.
Its big eyes pierced through mine,
Penetrating the deepest cellar of my soul;
Time’s relentless run paused—for a beat.
I sat on my paddleboard,
Soft waves caressing it tenderly, like a lullaby.
I drifted…
Enveloped by a floating magic carpet of infinite blue…
I marveled at the sunlight’s delicate strokes,
Feathering the crests of waves.
All calm as it was blue;
Infinite, linear, and placid.
In this evanescent flash,
Time stretched for breaths,
In slow, harmonic sways,
While birds above
Soared as freely as my thoughts.
I surrendered my worries,
Opening the door to joy and gratitude,
Their bold entrance filling my heart
With peace and serenity.
I spread my fragile, ethereal wings
And released my spirit to rise high,
Beyond enchanted realms,
Surpassing all earthly bliss.
Just for a moment…
For this is short-lived contentment.
In that ephemeral flight, the wind’s whisper
Reminded me of reality awaiting my return.
Like a brief summer breeze,
Life passes swiftly;
Our precious time is fleeting
— a spark in the shadow of eternity.
Soon, we’ll drown
In the endless night of forever-darkness.
Like a rock plummeting into the deepest canyon,
We’ll become a hollow thud—
A forgotten echo in numbed stillness.
Every memory of us disintegrating,
Into grains in dust scattered by the wind.
