Stop Light.

There are those pretty little pink flowers floating down so softly towards the earth.
There is the scent of wood burning far off in the distance.
There is the soft touch of the grass and the morning dew that lingers on.
There is the blue sky with that one cloud hovering over my head.
The smell of burning wood is a lovely smell.
The flowers float down with gravity in such a delicate matter.
I reach out my hand to lightly touch one but miss.
I try to pick it up but it slips right through me.
The cloud isn’t so light anymore, it’s dark an menacing.
The smell of the wood is slowly being drifted away from my scent.
The grass isn’t so green anymore and the dew isn’t there.
Blinking the world changed around myself where I stand.
I blink again and things go back to being the same.
For a second I just wonder and think if I am just tired.
I touch my face but I can’t feel it. 
I go towards the little pond behind me.
To take a look at my reflection.
I see myself there and try to touch my face again but I can’t feel a thing.
The fish inside are swimming and some turtles sitting on the rocks bathing in the sun. 
I take a step into the pond and I don’t feel the cold.
I take another step and the water is at my waist.
I blink and the world changes around me.
The pond is empty and there is no life around myself.
I panic for a second and everything comes back as it used to be.
I look up at the sky and it’s bluer than ever. 
I blink again and I start to sink deep into the blue waters of the pond.
Something is dragging me down into the deep blue.
Blinking the water turns into the sky and the world around me begins to change.
Images that I have forgotten come back so rapidly it hurts my soul and makes me laugh.
I close my eyes in fear but the images don’t stop.
The world around me isn’t what I remember it being.
There are sounds all around me and I open my eyes.
I got lost in my head again waiting at the cross walk.
As people idly pass by and some stare from the bus stop.
I start to walk since I have the right of way, wondering how long I have been standing there…..
