Ocean's Promises.

She knew it all.

She saw the entire scene as it came. It was played out in her mind, so brilliantly real; almost too real. Patterns raced around one another, darting to and fro across the landscape, and swirls shot from beneath her feet, so quickly, as she dazed up at the clear sky, and watched them reach to touch the blue dome to which they were entrapped. Fields of green surrounded her, stretched across the horizon, and butterflies fluttered from every direction, surrounding sprouting flowers that made the colours of the rainbow. In fact, it mirrored a rainbow, proudly arced across the sky, protruding from a single white cloud. The sun broke through thin slits in the cloud, but it maintained its shape, and the rainbow glimmered serenely in the glassy blue.

This was her dream; her dream of reality, and every night she would wish to return to it, and rest in its peace. This fantasy world to her was her escape from the demands of reality; 15 seconds was all she needed to feel refreshed. It was here that her fire would be rekindled and made bright again, so that she could face a new day, glowing.

But the poor girl, possibly she was greedy this time.

She ignored her needs of being awake, and slipped herself into the realms beyond time again.

The scenery was still beautiful, though the tall, green grass slowly swayed as the distant winds of melancholy passed by. Suddenly the colours dimmed, and shadows chased away the warmth of the sun's rays. Rumbling clouds malevolently replaced the blue sky, engulfing that single fluffy white cloud, pathetic and useless in comparison to the eminent clouds. A sea of black swallowed completely the oceans of heaven, overcasting a horrific darkness that she simply could not comprehend.

All that she had in her dreams was a rainbow, but the flowers were now shrivelled up, hiding under the dying grass, their petals wilting in their struggle to stand for even one more second. The rainbow that so majesticly stretched across the sky was shrouded in black, its colours dissolved in its neverending depth.

Her rainbow of promise was gone, and all that filled her eyes were the thickest black fogs, blurred by her dampened eyes.

She knew it was selfish to pursue, but what else could she do?

I was a chain reaction, and dominoes would fall from the very first... never mind how many I would try to take out, I ended up placing more at the firing end.

You aren't meant to be in my pile of dominoes. You should stay away, for all that reeks from me is a violent path of destruction. You don't deserve what I give you.

Now, where the hell did this tap come from, and just where is it getting its abundance in salty water?

I don't know how to be what comes so naturally to everyone else. Why do I so selfishly seek such depths of the ocean? Why am I willing to risk my life at the dangers of the waves above, and the ever shifting sand beneath my feet?

Why are the waters that I always pass so shallow?

And why does my lake feel so untouched? So mysterious and unexplored... and I don't know how to clarify it.

So, so, so, so so so selfish.

I'm sorry.
This is a song that only caged birds know.

You are always in control.

LOL, Sarah.
