A feverish dream.

  this came to me in a long and painful night It started as a spark; a random crash of two rocks. It then ignited a few wooden branches and weeds, burning timidly in the night. Later, it grew into logs piled on other logs burning softly together, finally warming a cold nocturnal heart. Then it became a passionate house fire that destroyed all that it found, a force of nature that consumed all what was and all what was meant to be. That gave way to a forest fire; a savage, uncontrolled, scorching inferno spouted by hell to prove it did not exist; a flaming monster that reached out of my heart set alight by her eyes and encircled heaven entire, bringing destruction to the divine and exploding the celestial vault into smithereens.

I am sitting alone in a small flat trying to recall the elusive feeling of 21 long years prior and, to my surprise and grand delight,  it is still here . It's 2002. The war that ravages the country feels closer to the cities now, and I am a member of the reserve army. There is a remote chance that I will be called upon to join the military.

Once the afternoon had vanished and with the fiery sun hidden, I found myself homebound at night with my heart and eyes wide open. With my mind and heart so engaged suddenly, a soul downtrodden came into view and held my sight with hope and warmth cruelly stolen. Stopping to help, so much we talked that shine fled by darkness driven. And on the sky above, how bright Moon and Love with beams unbroken!
