The Safety of Nostalgia
As I drift into the meadow of frost
 My soul slowly slips away
 I am turned into ice
 and my mind has been ceased.
 I can no longer process the world I view
 Only can I see it
 Hear it
 As the world really is
 The vibrant colors have disappeared 
 The zealous hummingbirds evaporate
 No more laughter surrounding my being
 Only frost.
 The dark hues consume my sight
 Until everything is merely a blur
 I tumble over large objects
 And fall into a cold lake
 My bones ache
 And I am parched
 For the water here is undrinkable
 My eyes feel as though they are frozen 
 All hope seems to have been sucked from my soul
 Like nectar from a honey suckle
 Oh how I long for just one more taste
 A taste of that sweet flower
 What is this?
 Has my thought been heard?
 A thought? Have I been ripped from the fog?
 I notice a small yellow blur on the ground 
 As my vision clears
 I bring this oddly shaped object to my nose
 And breath in the sweet aroma of happiness
