A Cloud Within a Cloud

Imagine… A family sitting in a living room; the living room made of sofas and chairs The sofas told a tale of antiques; never a complexion, even to the brain’s follicles of hair Her grandfather, and other members of the family sat there; laughing; nourishing the air There she sat, opposite to her grandfather’s left side She looked at him, at his laugh, and smiled Everyone around them seemed to be damped with fog; nothing was seen except; herself, her grandfather, and a picture that seemed unprepared to trod Her grandfather held that picture and saw his grandson Immédiatement*, he smiled and admired the photo’s photon She then spoke and told her grandfather that his grandson has now grown; thus calling his grandson to come; to be shown There, his grandson arrived, and his grandfather held him in his hands and placed him on his laps It was a beautiful scene without any empty gaps But then, she noticed her grandfather didn’t look at her; it was as if she was out of the picture… It was then she realized like she was talking to him, but he didn't hear her... It was then she noticed that it was a dream within a dream... She had seen her grandfather when she was three But now, she misses him a great deal… ‘May you rest in peace’ *Immédiatement: Immediately
