That feeling of relaxation.
And drowsiness.
As I begin to feel all the stress slip away.
Along with my eyes.
Struggling to stay open.
Them wiggling and jolting.
To open and close
Consistently.
As I try to stay awake.

The nuclear winter has settled a blanket of ash across everything in our path; it’s becoming harder and harder to see. To put one foot in front of the other.

Calming is around you. You feel the earth beneath you. The ground starts shaking, to the point you crumble and become a tumbleweed in the wind, standing without feet.
In the wind you feel your soul, bright and calm. Calmness sways, like a soft rhythmic song: a song in your heart and in your mind. Your mind is serene, unknowing and unseeing. Being a tumbleweed is simple, and you don’t have to worr...
