Escape From Reality

Night sun casting down rays of magnificent wonder makes it plain to see the clouds on the darkest of nights. But, taking away from the splendor is the horrifying star that has overtaken Nature's solemn chance at recreating Heaven. As I sit here in this horrible place down below, I find peace and relief even as the flames of lofty ambitions keep attacking, gnawing at my soul. I wonder what it's like up there in that unknown place that seems to be drawing me near. I somehow am pulled up into another realm. I look and see all the wondrous things I was told as a kid. And for a moment, I lose all thoughts of dreams that seem unreachable and for the first time experience, Freedom. I have finally felt my pains relieved. And then I drift back down to reality. It's over and once again I feel the flames close in from all directions. But this time I know, an escape.
