blather
riviera_paradise
megan with the ice melting outside and a bright sun peeking in my window, i am drawn to another place entirely
another dimension perhaps
there is no time here
there are no expectations
there are no universal laws, except the absolutely necessary ones
(like gravity... and no killing...)
and i sit and listen to the sounds of silence and understanding
here there has been no crying for decades
there needs to be none
here the sky is purple and amber at all times
and the earth is cream
step in
step into this riviera paradise
close your eyes and hold your breath
draw in your knees, curl up into a small ball
can you feel the warm air on palm branches, can you see the low ceilings, dim rooms lit by incense and candles
can you taste the broiled lobster, fresh off the beach, and tall drinks with funny umbrellas
have you ever felt at home?
imagine
no more fear, no more ice, no more burning
you
soft
drawing close
it's all i ask
