Description
As I step into this place of peace
the howls and cries that filled my reality
a moment ago suddenly cease to exist.

I turn around and look through the non-existant
wall (yet it is there) between here
and "the real world" and smile.

I have walked for lifetimes to get here.
Been to hell and back more times than I care to count
all for one moment's respite, one moment of peace.

And now I have it. I breathe the untainted
air around me, stretch my hand through the
wall and instantly feel the sting of life's vampiric kiss.

Cold, yet intensely hot. Repulsive, yet tempting...
As I retract my hand I smile at the peace I have
found in the oddest of places.

Where everyone passes but nobody looks...
The eye of the storm is encompassed and saturated
with crystal tears of peace, and quiet.

And for a brief moment in my life, I stop to smell the roses...
and as I watch life rage and swirl around me....I smile.....
