Idle Time

I used to swim in the ocean, a thousand years ago, when mermaids were around. opaque colors of mystical blue, a swish and then gone. It made me blink, it made me smile. my own little miracle. I used to run races in the hilly mountains, the hare and the tortoise had nothing on me, speed was a vehicle made for my legs only, fastest on earth. Molecules of air were on a first name basis, with me and God. I used to laugh with my heart open, embracing the world and all that went along with it, a billion entities circling my aura, happy to be loved. I sit and stare out my window now, remembering nothing.
