Another Dimension

I was surrounded by a haze, something strange around my body, every molecule tickling my very existence. Keeping it in orbit around this rock we call earth. There I was, drowned in this emotional state, where nothing really mattered, only the haze did, it was everywhere, in every breath, in every heartbeat, following my thoughts and my blood flow. It kept sane, at the same time protected, nothing could come close to me.

I saw rockets launch into the void of space, space shuttle fly out into the outer arc of the atmosphere, and then fly back into the earth, landing safely. I saw wars from above, just tiny explosions in the landscape, leaving ugly scars on our earth. I saw weird things passing by the earth, missing their target by some aeons, as if some giant hand in the unknown darkness hurled heavy objects, asteroids, towards our planet. I saw comets, the most beautiful of them all, with long tails of miles on end, in the firmament, i saw the moon as it is, charred since its very existence

I saw the sun, the warming sun in the morning, and the calming reflection in the night. eclipses, shades, ghosts, astronauts leaving the safety of their spaceships to walk in the void of space. satellites being attracted back to earthm burning in their disgrace back to earth, filling the oceans floor of metallic trash.

Everything in perfect balance, for every death a birth, but sometimes, for every death, 4 births. The world became a strange place, sometimes the woods and forests were ablaze with churning flames of anger, sometimes mountains spit their interior wrath in form of melted stone, sometimes the floor shook in madness of the settlers that polluted every inch.

I saw everything from above the blue sky, surrounded by beautiful angels and that haze, the haze that kept me alive for so long, such power that it eroded the hardy walls upon my heart to come in and steal every ounce of my will.

I saw everything from up above, everything below was another dimension.

Yet morning rise finally came, and the haze dissipated slowly, as if leaving me to my luck, gravity finally penetrated the impermeable protection i so yearned, and pulled me from my stupor, and into the earth back again, the atmosphere burnt all my clothes upon reentry, mercilessly attracted me to the center of the inmolating liquid mass, my body, not aerodynamic in the least, pulled against the wind, currents came and currents went, and finally I could see it, the blue sky, I was in the sky. Entering mother earth once more.

Cutting down from the heaven and through a hole in the sky i descended into the crust, faster as I could ever dreamt, the flames of desire for my haze burning everything around me, what seemed like a distant world came into focus slowly as I fell, my stomach turned and I felt and incredible void into my chest, as if something has been desintergating with the fall, slowly the heat rose to unbearable levels and the landscape became clearer everytime, zooming in excruciatingly fast, without being able to avoid it, without being able to stop it.

There were no breaks, only the face of the earth of a green field, i descended into the most beautiful green i have ever seen, plants grew all over, mountains could be seen in the distance, birds passed me by slowly, the clouds opened a hole to avoid getting charred and my fall was complete.

I crashed upon the earth, destroying everything at my surroundings, everything burned with the impact of a tiny star. Everything ached my vision took some time to get used to this new atmosphere. one gravity, one density, the air was filled with the ashes of the green field i just faced.

I walked slowly, with clothes unknown to me, they seemed to crawl into my skin as an illusion, where was I? just a forest, beyond I could see a group of trees, too many to be just a grove. maybe a rain forest? i dont know, the carnage i left upon the earth wouldnt be easily forgiven.

I walked for miles, until I saw a house. small, with one small lamp to read, the night fell fast and the plague advanced with firm step, biting my now unprotected skin, i felt some pain as the saliva from the female insects battled against my antibodys. Maybe I could catch one of those earthly illness.

I knocked upon the door. The moon already showing her youth, seemed so distant now, in another dimension.

A woman opened the door, her eyes sat upon me and welcomed me in.

i had a cup of a beverage, hot, seemed like some kind of plant brewed with the purest water.

We didnt talk, she just looked at me transfixed, i did the same. Coincidence? maybe it was just me missing what I just suddenly lost.

Once the sun rose, i set on my way, to discover this whole new world.

This strange world I used to look with distant eyes. From another dimension.
