Challenge
Emotion: Ambedo
n. a kind of melancholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—briefly soaking in the experience of being alive, an act that is done purely for its own sake

.
Write short prose or poem expressing this emotion. Regardless of which on you choose it has to be expressed within 6 to 12 sentences ( prose) or lines (prose or poem).
I'll be doing four more of these challenges later. Thank you Thought Catalog for gathering these wonderful words. May the games begin!

On the 18th of January, I'll be starting Nodus Tollens as my Emotion challenge.
ceiling fan
midnight sky outside the window,
trees shaking with wind.
the lights around are all dimmed out,
no sense of light within.
above spins a ceiling fan,
round and round it goes.
blades spin around,
like liquid sound,
melting into ears, they go.
its chilly but it isn’t felt,
to focused on the buzz,
too focused on the cycling life
of the creature spinning above.
pins and needles crawl up arms to show how long was spent
just staring at this circling fan,
above whom nothing’s bent.
below her lays a sullen thing,
a being feeling lost,
but her cycle remains a constant,
one that comes with fingers crossed.
yes, she spins, she’ll spin for you,
for all those who drop in,
you get so lost within her trance
that you’re the only one who’s been.
