The Escape

A dark world

No escape from the Chaos of Life

Until I looked up

And felt the crisp air dance across my red, frozen face,

   While I simultaneously pondered my existence. 

The breathtaking sparkle of the stars swimming in the vast night sky

The soft powder gently falling 

The slowing beat of my heart 

The quiet night 

Exhilarating.

Taking deep breaths of fresh air, hearing the crunch of the snow under my boots,

   Knowing this is what Peace felt like for a second.

The thoughts that always seem to never stop, slow

   As I appreciated the beauty around me.

My heart panged, 

   longing to stay comforted by the darkness of the night.

Now, I close my eyes to remember, 

   to hopefully experience a fraction of what I did

This is The Escape.

My Escape.
