Anesthesia

In frenzy, everything travels without hesitation
Whizzing by, quickly as it can
Motion- joy and sorrow, accomplishment and failure
Sudden, weary halt
Sinking like cloth in water, slowly, gracefully
Suffocating in a heavy fog
Struggling to stay above the surface of gentle waves
Gradually succumbing to darkness
Blissfully allowing ripples to dance over crevices of your face
Tranquil, light, yet preoccupied sighs
Growing deeper, heavier, longer
Until each sigh merges with the next
Becoming care-free and forgetting disaster
Forgetting error and mistakes
Beginning to imagine excitement and wonder
Nearing pure happiness, or nearing terror
For once, truly relaxing
Truly letting life control you
Lying—drifting into peaceful oblivion
