I WAS SITTING OH SO VERY STILL AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD. I ALMOST FELT LIKE I WAS SITTING on top of the world itself.
I COULD SEE FOR MILES. ENDLESS BUILDINGS OF GREYS, BLUES, BLACKS. SLEEK GLOSSY GLASS ALL VERY STARK AGAINST A HUE OF MIDNIGHT BLUES, SUMMER TANGERINE ORANGES, SUNFLOWER YELLOWS AND CRYSTAL WATER PURPLES ALL FLOWING LIKE AN OIL PAINTING. I COULD SMELL DEW EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO RAIN OR REASON FOR IT. I COULD TASTE THE MORNING RISE IN UTTER DELIGHT TO BRING LIFE BACK INTO THE WORLD.
NIGHT WAS FADING AND WITH IT WENT THE ACHING SADNESS, FEARS OF THE UNSAID TREMBLINGS, MISGUIDED NOTIONS OF WANTON WANTS AND LOVELY LIES. UNSCRUPULOUS AND INSATIABLE SINS DINED AND DELIGHTED UPON ACROSS THE VAST EONS OF PLANETARY SOIL STOPPED FOR A SINGLE MOMENT.
AS FIRST LIGHT APPROACHED, HOPE SUPERCEDED ALL ELSE. EVEN THOUGH I IS JUST A FEELING, A THOUGHT, A NOTION WITHIN, IT WAS CRUSHING. IT BUBBLED INSIDE THE EARTH AND SHATTERED THE SHANTS, CANTS, WONT'S AND WANTS OF LIVELIHOOD TO BRING ABOUT AN ABUNDANCE OF AFFECTION FOR MANKIND.
PEOPLE DON’T CARE ABOUT OTHER INDIVIDUALS, BUT THEY DO CARE ABOUT HUMANITY AS A WHOLE. INSIDIOUS DAY TO DAY MISANTHROPIC MEANNESS LEADS WAY TO A GREATER COLLECTIVE OF NECESSARY GOOD. EVIL CAN FIGHT EVIL, ONLY GOOD CAN MUSTER THROUGH ENTIRELY. EVIL IS PATIENT, GOOD IS WISE.
REMEMBER THAT.
AS THE DAY RAGED ON, CARS BUSTLED, CREATURES RUSTLED, AND STREET URCHINS HUSTLED. WHILE EVERYTHING MOVED TO THE BEAT OF THE TIME CLOCK, MY MIND STOOD STILL AS THE LAST GRAIN OF SAND IN AN HOURGLASS.
I REMEMBERED.
I MAY NOT BE PERFECT OR ADVANTAGEOUS. I MIGHT NOT HAVE MONEY OR ANY LOVE IN MY LIFE. I MIGHT HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SHATTERED PIECES TO PICK UP. I COULD POSSIBLY NEED A LOT OF SELF CARE AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT’S OK.
THE WORLD ISN’T GOING TO STOP TODAY. I’M NOT GOING TO DIE BECAUSE I’M NOT COMPLETELY FIXED. IT’S A WONDROUS WORK IN PROGRESS, JUST LIKE THE MORNING DAWN. IT’S BEAUTIFUL AND IT TAKES EFFORT.
EVERY DAY.
WHILE THE URCHINS HUSTLE, I SHINE LIKE A STAR ABOUT TO BURST INTO SUPERNOVA AT HOME DANCING WITH A FIERCE SPIRIT OF CONFIDENCE. I OWN MY SOUL WHILE I WASH MY DIRTY BELONGINGS AND MAKE THEM SPARKLE IN CLEANLINESS. I COMMAND MY CONFECTIONS WITH COMPLIMENTARY CARE. I UTTER LOVE TO MYSELF IN WHISPERS AND GIGGLING GAGGLES.
TICK TOCK GOES THE TIME TO THE MOON SHOWS BACK UP. THE MOON ONLY SHINES CAUSE DAWN CAME. THE MOON CAME MUCH LATER THAN DAWN DID AND IT TOOK A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE SUCH LUSTER SHIMMER SO THE TIDES TURN, THE EARTH QUAKES AND SHAKES WHILE THE WOLVES HOWL MAGICALLY.
THAT’S MY GOAL.
TO REACH FOR THE STARS.
