Grounded

The sun is asleep and the moon is only half awake. My mind is blurry and my heart is half paced. Crickets are chirping in slow motion as I ascend into open space. It's beautiful how the clouds can give such a cool sheltering embrace. I'm alone but the stars smile at me and their flickering dances make good company. I'm floating away, but i know this place. I have been here before. I'm far away from sanity and i'm afraid i have gone mad. Everything is peaceful and my face is blank but not sad. My mind was in a corset but it’s coming unlaced. I never want to leave this hallucination, because there is something so comforting about the way i feel so accompanied in my own mind when i'm alone. This is my mental utopia and returning to reality would be a sure disgrace.
