Seven Moons

One day the light turns on - bright - very bright - so bright you need to cover your eyes. Contemplating the brightness the mind roars like a jet taking off at Laguardia airport. Darkness still flashes holding your day sight at bay.

Life - or what you thought about your life stalks across the screen. 1 plus 1 no longer become 2. An algebraic equation takes its places rightly where the addition should have been but is no more.

Complications muddy the waters that once were tamed and flowed south. Now the unclear waters swirl and spout little tips of bubbly water. A blowhole appears and and changes the serenity of the landscape.

Alice stumbles toward the tea party and the white rabbit runs and hides.

You think you have it all together, you think you know where you are going, you think your plan is in place. Then, the sky opens up and the torrential downfall splats by your feet. You question your privatized inner beliefs. You raise your eyes to the empty vastness of the universe and see endless space.

Once you were cushioned and hugged by this vastness but now you are adrift. Floating with the tiny particles of earth on a relentless journey to find whatever it is you think you have lost. Something with substance, something with a purpose, something indescribable, but still something you felt. A map of life living and power swept from your very essence.

You reach out to grasp the thing and hold a bubble of air that slowly slips through the crevices. The smell of raw defeat encapsulates your senses. Passion flies softy away in the early morning breeze as the quiet settles like a West Coast fog against the grain of your being. The burning of rice knocks you back into reality where split peas are still green and once again you have wandered aimlessly down that path searching for the reasons.

Answers escape without acknowledgement or justification to any realization of facts. Seeking out the seven moons will become a necessary oddity to quantify your life and purpose.
