Earths' Hands
My face is cold
Wind is petting my cheeks
The cold is kissing my nose and ears
Darkness gently shields my eyes
The atmosphere carries me
Slowly, slower, faster, farther
Light awakens the darkness
Clouds hold my hands
The world in front of my eyes
Darkness lets go, leaving me
The cold engulfs me into a hug
Air drops me, shoving, pushing
"Let go"
A breath leaves my lips
Silent, muted by the air
I am weightless
I am flying
I am against gravity
I am...
I'm falling
Land is closer, beautiful white roses
Yellow daisies, lavendar... closer
The cold has chained itself to me
The air has left with the darkness
No one is here
Suddenly, I feel the calling
Earth's hands open to catch me
I close my eyes, I can't move
I feel pressure on my chest
Tears flood my temples
And suddenly I'm on my
Bedroom floor
The sun watching over me
Right outside my window
My alarm gently rings into the air
Humming
I'm not falling
Not here

The theme was falling, and there's always the myth that inspired this piece - dying in real life if you fall in a dream.
