fading

Ever had a feeling that you’re slowly loosing the sense of your life, that you’re fading away?

Ever felt that images from your blurry past are now flattened and shady, with the colors diluted and spread over your memories?

Ever thought that this might be the last day of your evanescent existence?

Ever experienced the feeling that you permanently lost somebody, even when that person continues to live beside you?

Ever had a gentle impression of love, caressing your skin and lighting up your heart?

Ever felt fear deep inside yourself, in such a way that all your senses and reactions remained paralyzed?

Ever realized that yesterday is long gone and tomorrow lies ahead, uncertain and gloomy like a dying fire?

Ever wanted to shout, to scream to the whole world, but you felt out of words and powerless?

And now there is not much left for you, as you’re fading, along with your thoughts and dreams. But right there in the mists, lies the slightest speck of hope and faith, which you grab onto and rise like the mighty phoenix from its burning ashes.
