You whispered flame into existence as if a stark naked sheath of sparkling midnight velvet skies, haunted in surreal angst revealing the beauty I will never possess. Lost in revelry, the tune continues to play repetitiously, in tired mind and restless thought raging ember pulse coagulating, until feelings whist now eternally slowed, water breaks from horizon. Restful reproach granted in heartbeat-time the metronome of life, always captures its prey succumbing in surrender, while the new dawn casts shadow over an oyster-made pearl on a rainy day in love.

Beautiful words here, but I am looking for a story or clear observation that is obscured. Verena and Ozzy's feedback capture my response. The words are beautiful. I need an image I can track so I have an understanding of what it means to remember an afterlife I've yet to experience.
