one day, he saw the world...sitting so close to him he could reach out and touch it. a world full of what he longed for and new was all he ever wanted, he knew he would be so happy to live in that world. and for awhile he got the chance to be in that world...where all that he saw had such vibrant and bright colors.. the trees were so green and the sky was so blue..and the flowers were so beautiful...so beautiful...and all he cared about was taking care of the world he was in...and the world gave back to him.. gave him dreams of what someday that world could be. he was scared though.. that that world would be taken away from him and that all he loved in that world would be lost to him and he wouldn't be able to gain it back.. no matter what he did or what he said. but he worried so much about losing the world that he forgot what he was like before.. and started to think about things that weren't there and things that made him think that he couldn't have the world, even though he knew in his heart that it was his. thinking those thoughts made him do things that he didn't understand...but he tried to fix it and he asked for help from God and God did help him he stopped having those thoughts and feeling the way he did, but it was too late.. the world he had loved was falling apart... things started to fade from bright and living to dull and faded.. the flowers were wilting and the trees were turning brown... at that point he realized that he had to stop and refocus on what he loved so much and needed to stop worrying about what he knew wasn't real. so he tried to fix all the flowers.... he wanted to replant new ones and grow new trees... but the world was already dead. and he couldn't do anything about it... he new what was going to happen, the world was falling away from him. so all he could do was hope that he could do something.. anything to regrow what had been lost to him... but he did not get that chance.. and the world fell away. he was still in love with that world and what was in it... he still has the dreams of what his world could have been. but he doesn't know...he has no clue if he will ever be able to see that world again... the world he loved, the world where everything was so vibrant and so bright....where the trees were such a bright green...and the sky a deep soft blue...he missed that world so much, but for now... he can do nothing but dream.
