The world ripples on the surface of the lake
Like a dream just before waking,
An ethereal, insubstantial illusion
Only real to those who beleive it so
But soon to be gone, no matter what your beleif
The reflections seem so undefined
Vague.
A more accurate portrayal of reality
Than the world itself ever was.
Masses of dirty color in constant flux
Never staying still long enough to get more than
The most basic understanding of what they represent
And always hiding the truth
Of what lies just below the surface
Yes, much more accurate.
There is such a temptation
To plunge, head first, into the icy waters
And feel the shock of the cold
Like a realisation upon opening your eyes
That the blissful happiness you lived just a moment ago
Was nothing but a tease
And the warmth you thought was yours to keep
Has been torn away in the blink of an eye
The possibility of that oh so fatal rock
Just hidden by the ripples
Is too sweet a danger to resist
And for a second I lose myself in the rush
Of plunging into the unknown
And then it hits
Everything is lost in the directionless world
Under the surface
Sight and sound useless
When everything is black and silent
The water gets into everything
The water is everything
My mouth and nose fill
Im drowning
This cold dark reality
That made me feel so alive
Is now my quickly approaching death
With the speed and ease of a child
I begin to adapt
To the unfamiliar laws
Of this indescribable new realm
I hold my breath
My eyes adjust
And all too soon
I feel at home.
What, just a few moments ago,
Was uncertainty and chaos
Is now taken for granted.
I begin my search for something new.
