I don't like the cold but tonight I went outside.
What I found was myself, echoing into the night.
My mind faded out like a thousand lightbulbs in a blackout.
Tonight in bitterness I knew peace fo a moment.
I walked through nature scarred with roads, pockmarked with buildings.
I heard the feral cries of a slave-dog behind a chainlink fence.
I looked up at the moon hanging like an occultation, like the smile of the cheshire cat on my shoulder.
The night left me wrapped in its arms like the comfort of death.
Reality is fleeting...

beautifully written.
I wonder if you needed to go for a walk because djhives's meltdown saddened you.
It does slightly for me to see him crack.
Nope I was out for 2 days and after the walk I came back.
I missed reality.
you went walking for two days?!
lol...he's loosing it too.
Hey sometime the peace of the out door calms your inner soul.... Just have to get away from things sometime I know how it is. I think we all feel it sometime or another. And sometime you just need a break from all the things around you.

Reality is fleeting,alas we are not....
dekn, i understand what you mean.
but isn't sleep the natural escape from reality? no one is more happy than me to go to bed at night.
My own personal experance, Yes sleep is an temporary escape from reality. But I think with dreaming you get more out of your escape because I've notice with my dreams I am able to see myself in the future but at a time that is still to come. I can feel its affect on me still in the morning. Sleep(dreaming) is the most beautiful moment I have I feel at peace ready for anothing. I use this moment in my dream to re-train myself to become even better in the waking reality. And so far in my trainning it has been working great for me so far. I feel the affect in the morning when I wake up.
