Deserted

I lay in a blissful slumber.

Unaware.

Detached.

Peaceful.

Free.

I hit the ground with a force so powerful, I was nearly certain I had arrived in the form of a comet, hurling with the power of 10,000 years of life weight into the hard barren landscape of this deserted land.

Even given the tremendous force of my cosmic impact, more painful was the suddenness of it all.

One moment.

Entangled in the loving beauty of nothingness.

The next.

Cast upon a wasteland of hot smoldering clay.
