our world was always showered with strange light, beautiful colors and sights filled our images with soft line and a significance only a god could gift.
but he wasn't a god. he was of low being, splitting words lighting every word on fire, every sense sent pulsing, every nerve aching.
a strong emotion of inadequacy overcame me as i stared at this otherworldly being. his status was mine, his voice echoed with the harps, fingers looping around at a slow pace, pain and frustration in his voice.
yet it felt as though as i was in bliss, my heart thumping with spiritual connection, my eyes tearing and refracting the lights only a heaven could create.
every time i looked at the voice, i felt an elevation inside of me, a revelation in my life.
as soon as the harmonies stopped, the split heaven closed, clouds dimming and filling with rage.
I was it hit with pain and suffering. my heaven was over, my life was ending.
it wasn't heaven.
it was a hell. my existence became dreary through experience and knowledge, my innocence and ignorance gone and destroying the image I had only seen once.
my heaven left with the god, the tree of life consuming me and destroying me, vines and routes of sin entrapped me.
i struggle to break free.
I struggle to see the lights anymore.
its all sin.
