I thought I knew where I was going.
Was I somehow misguided,
or had I got my directions wrong?
I thought I could see how my life would flow,
what was awaiting me when the sun dipped low.
I believed I had answers buried deep within,
somewhere under my skin which was
itching for them to be released.
I thought this road I'd walked along so many times,
would somehow show me a different street sign,
A different passageway I'd somehow missed
as my journeys always hit the same dead end.
I always believed there was more to this,
but there was so much I couldn't comprehend.
I kept repeating the same route.
My feet wore a pathway
where water would pool
but I'd always end up
in the same place.
That same red brick wall.
My mind seemingly
unable to find what was
calling me,
the heartbeat of eternity evading me,
hiding in the deepening shadows I see.
Then I stopped looking,
I started to let feelings instead flood in,
I felt a wave crash over me,
and the visage of my former reality fled,
washed away in the flood.
A new reality bled over my vision,
one that seemed, dare I say it, good.
The streets were grass green,
the towering buildings replaced like a dream
with trees and hills, a place serene.
I traced my name upon my heart,
in case I forgot who I had once been,
when I walked in the world
of concrete and metal machines.
A reality shift, a peek into a reality
that had leaked out of our world,
down the drains of industry,
and the supposed advancement of humanity.
It dazzled me. The colours so bright,
no red or grey bricks in sight,
just nature providing a caress for the eyes.
All I could do was smile.
After so long I'd found what it was
I was looking for.
A world not a million miles
from our own,
just one with less monstrous eyesores.
