Heard

I screamed out into the vastness of the world.

If we don't scream, are we even heard by the world?

The world heard.

I was met with cold rain, wetting my skin.

I danced in the rain.

If we don't dance, are we even alive?

The world saw.

The ground opened up and I fell down, down, down, 

returning to the world from which I came

as I took

one

last

breath.
