All right, I stood out above the clouds<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw the sky it was like the evening\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The sun reliving its color\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shining its golden radiant heat over the horizon<\/span><\/p>\n

And its incident rays moving on the seas<\/span><\/p>\n

Making the Blue turn violet<\/span><\/p>\n

And the wind blew<\/span><\/p>\n

Softly, slowly and lightly<\/span><\/p>\n

Over my ears, brushing my hair<\/span><\/p>\n

At the moment I knew\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This was where I belong<\/span><\/p>\n

Down by the riverside\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With my feet in the soft sand<\/span><\/p>\n

But,<\/span><\/p>\n

Where are the trees?<\/span><\/p>\n

Where are the lovely palm trees?<\/span><\/p>\n

That dance to the breeze music<\/span><\/p>\n

I can’t find them<\/span><\/p>\n

Where am I?<\/span><\/p>\n

As if in a mirage<\/span><\/p>\n

My eyes readjusted<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting used to the greyness<\/span><\/p>\n

Staring at the blank space\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From an empty wall of the unseen reality<\/span><\/p>\n

What now what age<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know<\/span><\/p>\n

What nerve what ache?<\/span><\/p>\n

I still don’t know\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead,<\/span><\/p>\n

My body felt the coldness<\/span><\/p>\n

Over a flaming air conditioner<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s time to wake up<\/span><\/p>\n

My feet wobbled off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alas! I need caffeine<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
