It slows my hand as I brush it through the blue and clear,

It creates a certain silence and in its elegance, it is okay not to hear.

My hair is lighter; my body has no weight brining me down,

The gravity is non-existent, as is my fear to drown.

The green creatures beneath me are unmoving and so I graze them with my feet.

The tingles from my actions on their flat shells make it seem like their hearts do beat.

I enjoy the cool warmth, until my mother, distorted and inaudibly speaking,

Annoys me by interrupting the beautiful silence I'm seeking.

I close my eyes and enjoy the still, refined world around me,

Until I must return to the real one I belong to, but do not wish to be.
