Five second durations spent in unacknowledged fantasy confuse where I did (or did not) go. The better part of the mind in the sixth second clears the former five's veneer. And ruling out your worst fear, will guide, protect you through all remaining years. I glance outside, view hills of snow, when in their place, in summer months now denied my mother's lawn I meticulously mowed. A wave to the neighbor meant anything. My hands heralded more than need for acceptance- they shyly asked for her ring. And though I could only smile and sign and tell her safe observationsthat season, I wanted to show more of me. To cease lingering pain in the wake of human disconnection, I was tempted to defer to the availability of faith instead of the relentless efforts of reason, when I found myself burning in Hell's season. Frail is the path to happiness, but every season finds me here safely alive. I never unsafely stumbled,but only trembled before the monster I falsely saw and feared. Will I see the monster again? Will I see him in durations of less than five seconds: Five. . .four. . .three. . .two. . .one until I see him no more? I don't know. But I do feel a growing strength within methat will make mesafe enough to feel happy through my remaining years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
