My feet are wet

My feet are wet, but not cold.

My heart is tired, but not dead.

My breath is ________, but not _______.

I have walked a journey marked by blood and tears.

I am soaked, my soul is dried.

The path towards creation was designed when I was born.

I buy my sorrow in bulk and deliver my love in bits of drained gulps of wine.

 

"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?"

 

I have flown to the infinite dreamland where lords protect the castles and dragons spit fire of spikes.

In this universe, I became the master of dissonant stories.

I covered my ears so I can't  hear the silent noise of colored dreams.

A whistle is heard in the distance indicating that is time to stop...

because the end of the road is coming...

It's been raining and my feet are wet.
