My eyes, heavy as it is, I blinked.
The leaves shield me away from the sun. The morning breaks through the skies. The ever so blissful dew that has kissed my skin slinked back away from me and to their mother in the clouds.
My fingers burrow deep down in the moss I lay under.
My breath slow, never ragged.
I smile a peaceful smile at this world.
I breathe deeply, the air blessing me.
"Ah, sticky."
I say, as I touch the cool slime that had kissed my cheek.
My lithe fingers meet with a hard shell.
I so gently pluck away the snail that has glued itself into my face.
Another smile lifted onto my face.
It was a wonderful thing to know that you weren't alone in the world.
Placing the snail away further in the moss so I may not harm it, I slowly carry my back as I sat up from where I lay.
Many more snails littered all over me.
I was happy then, I was more happier now.
What a wonderful thing to be alright.
I pluck away my slow friends.
Carefully to not crush them with my feet as I wobbled to stand.
This new world I awoke to.
Have I no one but myself?
That question is something I would ask once I grow older.
My heart soared and my blood bubbled as my feet rub against the smooth, mossy, forest floor.
Its tiny tiny leaves tickling my toes make me yell and giggle as I frolick through rocks and trees.
I halted for a moment.
And only for a moment.
After that moment fleeted by, I glowed with laughter that rivaled the jingles of a tiny bell in an old woman's home.
I looked up to the sky, where I now know that eyes watch me.
Happy as I was as I woke up, happier I was now, knowing I was not alone.
Waking up to nowhere in the world, with someone I can't see.
I love them now, just as much as they start to love me.
The forest around me was filled with wonders I can't keep in my life forever. But forever, I can keep in my heart.
That much I know, even though I had just woken up in such a wonderful place.
