There was a time back then, when the closest to a smile he could conjure was a dissatisfied smirk, targeting his malaise.
He avoided mirrors;
convinced that his desires were misguided, at best, he smothered in masks of self-preservation, nurtured in solitude, exhausted in cast-iron stealth, yet with someday hope.
Someday hope.
The planets aligned then, out of the blue, like an angel whispering a gentle major chord that crescendoed into a dream of flying.
Now, in this free play towards oneness, in this avalanche his agnostic soul begins to call blessings,
he knows, he has been delivered from the non-linear, when nothing was straight-forward;
with the last laugh of relief, he soars into the loving embrace of everything, of everyone of himself.
