Day 6: THe Fog

This is part of a series written about a forbidden love, Day 1 is the day after we received terrible news and everything changed.

He looks outside and can see the sun

It’s so obviously there

He can see shadows…

Of the trees, of his body as he walks

Yet its still foggy

 

Everything looks different

Everything feels different

It’s like he doesn’t recognize anything anymore

It’s all new and foreign

 

His car drives strangely

His house seems smaller

It doesn’t feel like his

 

He never noticed the scent of his laundry room before

Or how the walls look in the dark

His favorite foods taste sour

When he looks in the mirror, his face looks so far away

He just wants to close his eyes

 

Music fills him like it never has

His emotions have built up

Are bound to explode someday

Emotions of beauty, sadness, love, fear, but most of all life…as he thought he knew it

 

Its foggy

So he can’t see anything but a couple inches in front of him

He stands still and something comes into focus

He begins to make it out, and it looks familiar

Its his own feet

That will take him one step at a time

 

As he moves slowly

He smiles

Everything does look different

He ached for something new, something powerful

Something to pull him out of the monotony of his life

 

He realizes that something horrible and scary can do that

But also, something wonderful and beautiful can do that

And they just may be all happening at the same time
