Phoenix

The Dazzling fire is sparkling in my eyes

I am focused on the lovely flames

They seem infinite, like the stars

I know they will soon die, as will I

For I can feel the heat getting closer to my body

The smoke is getting thicker

I accept the scent, and savor it

Many people in my place would be panicking

While I am paralyzed, mesmerized, hypnotized

It is like I am in a trance

As the flames begin to tickle my feet, a giggle sneaks out of my mouth

Everything is in incredible slow motion

That makes me happy because I can notice every little detail

I see every tiny spark drifting away from the tip of each flame

I hear my beating heart, which seems to pump once a minute

I embrace the heat as it crawls up my body

I allow the black smoke to enter my nasal passages and lungs

My last thought is, "This is the feeling of empowerment."

That very moment I opened my eyes slowly to find myself in a bed

A bed that is in a very regular room in the dead of night

I finally recognize this as my room in my house

I lay still, staring at my ceiling, still feeling a bit paralyzed

Amazed by the exciting yet terrifying sensation I had just dreamt

As I yawned I pondered the meaning behind this odd dream

Before I knew it, I was back asleep

I had no more dreams that night

I woke up to my alarm clock yelling at me, and I started getting ready for school right away

I had no memory of the significant dream I had experienced just hours earlier
