As if We Were Asleep

New: A Prologue

New: A Prologue

Aug 25, 2022

~New~


If we had the tantalizing ability to turn back time,

to restart our days,

to reboot to the very beginning

when our minds were nothing more than strings of code

floating in ember-filled skies,

we would simply halt.


Frozen.


.....Unmoving. 


As if solidified in an amber prison,

the open circuit of life ceases.

For the regretful reunite the regretted,

and all will continue back over.

And over.

And over. 

While internal clocks tick,

tick,

tick.

And "futile" ideas cower away from a belligerent world.


So take this as a sign to move.

Break free.

Allow the sweet softness of fluidity to overtake your mind

and caress others. 


Rest, and take care.

As a new sun creaks open the rusty gates of the horizon,

the tang of liberation fresh on our tongues, 

we gaze longingly at endless new,

patiently waiting with open arms.

Hey friends, welcome to my second book of poems, and the sequel to "What if Everything Was Different?"! I am proud to say that a new era has begun. It has been quite a long time since I last published anything on here, and to those who stuck around or returned to read this, I adore you and am honored to have you reading my work. To any new readers, hello! I hope that you enjoyed this first chapter, and that you'll look forward to the rest! Stay safe out there, and thank you for reading!

Sweet dreams,

Stardusttoad 💜

P.S. If you liked what you read, feel free to like the chapter, comment, and subscreeb if you want to see future chapters. :}

How we discover the emotions that make us human.

How easily we allow ourselves to lose them.

How painfully difficult they can be to regain.

How we all experience them together,

as if we were asleep.
