Transcend

And I'm safe in here.
The outside world pales
to insignificance,
he'll protect me.

I feel breathing -
deep, calm; a heart beat,
not like my own
I witness

limbs, skin,
a thought or two,
it's only a moment;
I feel only this.

Through the distant window,
the cars I'm cursed to join,
not yet, not in this moment, safe; 
that dark, lonely light.

Where still my splintered breathing,
will not feel my own:
disjointed in society,
distant in harmony

but. I remember.
The peace you painted me:
priceless but bound forever,
in casts of memory.
