Convinced, we fell into the Abyss. A meat place where pain still exists. He talks to us, trying to hide the truth. Prevented from ascending by our senses, personified has the voice in our heads, convinced that here there are dreams to be followed and the urges of meat must be met. We wake up sometimes in our sleep, with a glimpse of the home that we seek. But every day, we wake up again, and the senses throw us back into the abyss. He still talks to us.
Like drops of rain we are still falling. Every birth is a droplet of water which falls into the world that we live in. The shadows reflect what we are and in the dark the colors emerge, taste, sight and smell come to play, pain is just part of the game. The price of our loss of faith must be paid. Our senses are our warder disguised as us, keeping us trapped in this dream. But our path back up is written. We, the born, will ascend once more to realize that we are one with it all. The senses might stay here for a while, until the last angel perceives his true place. And then, alone, the senses will suffer with no one in sight to convey.
We angels that fall with urges like all, remember of nothing from there. He speaks to us of hunger and thirst, he looks upon us with disdain. But he is a fool and doesn’t realize that we are all that he has. The senses always force us to cry. But the dark will be mad before it’s light.
I can feel my beating heart in my ears, my senses obligate me to exist. Like waves of sound that vanish, reality forms itself. Perception is the toll we use to filter it all to hell.
Let me distract myself now with my empty desires; I must convey to my family that this world is a lie. No one would listen, and now I must shut myself up. The square is closing, and I can now hear music in the distance. I will dance to it while I can’t remember.
What’s the show on TV today? You’ve seen that couple? They look cute together. What you wan’t to eat today? I fell i forgot something. Well, maybe it wasn’t important. We can still talk of a game, the Olympics or today’s weather. I just had an intrusive thought. Maybe I should do it. I don’t know… I will sleep on it. Tomorrow we’ll see us again. Good night to all, and always remember to keep healthy and study and live till the end.
