Enter the Garden

There are two worlds.

The world we live in now.

The Alley

and another world.

The Garden.

A secret hidden from most.

Only accessible to a chosen few.

That summer, drifting under intense sunlight,

We learned the pain of loss.

Helplessly,

I watched the silhouette of my sister.

Disappearing,

dissolving into the hollow light.

I abandoned and lost myself.

Like the countless grains of sand tumbling inside me.

I tried to follow the slightest traces of her,

scouring through the world,

through the streets of the Alley, lost.

Sometimes, it felt like peering at a fleeting darkness inside myself.

The other world, is it just a beautiful mirage.

I saw in the wind?

I just kept on searching.

Then, I arrived at the gate.

And, I realized, that the other world

has always loomed over my life, like a reflection in a mirror.

How much time did I spend in the light?

Was it a momentary, metaphysical flash?

Or was it an eternal illusion?

After going through what felt like an infinite cycle of time,

I reached another world,

It was like an illusion that shouldn't exist, not even in my memories.

The Garden.

Two worlds in opposition
