They took me to what they called home of The One.  

Standing outside,

Some one said  “wow look at the color of the wall”,

and another said  “wow the roof looks so strong”,

One from the side view said “wow I smell something so awesome”,

And I asked “has anyone been inside my friend?”

To which they said “no questions do you understand, just do as we say and obey.”

This went on for years, I tried to follow suit, work hard, family, beliefs and values.

One day, Dawn knocked at my door.

I could not see no light , hear no sound, smell no fragrance, seemed like I was maybe half gone.

But I found my self in front of this home of The One I had previously gone.

I looked around and no one was there, so I opened the door and stepped in to this forbidden place for me, they had said.

I found the walls so beautiful made out of glass that reflected me in everything outside.

As I walked around, it was just peace,  it was just love, it was just bliss.

For the first time in my life I felt alive.

And slowly when my gaze shifted to the sun rising in a distance.

Through these glass walls  I could see the sun, the beautiful mountains, ocean and the breath of the breeze,

For the first time I saw how my own reflection fit perfectly in the beautiful scene.

And slowly but surely this thought started to creep up through my veins:

I want to stay here forever. This is my home. Let me lock the door so no one disturbs me here in my abode.

In that single thought that felt eternal,

I was jolted and thrown out to land back in my bed.

Was it a dream I wondered as I looked outside the window of my bedroom as I lay,

To see the yellow flower sway in the breeze, 

and again saw how my reflection in the glass window fit in perfectly 

with the world that was waiting 

for me here in this moment

called “my home”.
