Perfect day
Ah a picture perfect day. Beautiful summer skies, glorious sunshine, a day no one has to die. Middle eastern peace? A million dollar scratch ticket suddenly found?
I don't want any of these. I'm selfish. To me the perfect day would be a moment, I could find joy again. A day I woke up and didn't have to drag myself out of bed. A day the smile in my face was not fake or painted on. A day where that strange bird, that odd creature that lives in the land beyond Emily Dickinson's hope, the solitary joy appears.
A day I woke up and truly enjoyed living, what a perfect day.
sorrow and bliss dissolve into mist
abrupt burst of pain
loss, bewilderment, anger
touch, warmth, comfort, peace;
learning, blossoming
developing, flourishing
trying, becoming;
plan, hope, work, suffer
yearn, dream, fail, succeed, repeat
build, strengthen, worry;
guide, mentor, relax
recline, watch, wait, remember
begin to wither;
lasting loss looming
light dimming, dark consuming
sweet oblivion
