No real Context

(This was something that popped into my head one night at work. No real context, just.. this. )

It was filled with a wonderous sound that flowed over me and through me until I thought surely I would be swept away by it. It was as though I was going to die and find before me the Elysium Fields. I stood there transfixed, seeing colors bloom behind my closed eyes in time with the music and I knew I would have this played at my passing over. The music faded finally, and slowly I opened my eyes, letting the real world take shape around me once more. I drew in a long, heart felt sigh of peacefulness before setting off.

You are Me


You're hot,
when I'm cool.
You're bold,
when I'm subtle.
You're brash,
when I'm tactful.
You're rough,
when I'm smooth.
You're uncouth,
when I'm suave.

You are everything I'm not
when I need you to be.
You are all that I am
when I'm not myself.
You are the sun and the moon and the stars
when I am Darkness and Nothing and Void.
You are my worst nemesis,
you are my dearest lover,
my harshest critic,
my tragic seer.
You are me, when I look in
the mirror,
and see my reflection...
from your eyes.
