Sitting in an ordinary place, thinking extraordinary thoughts, my world becomes unclear and distorted, swirled and blurred, so much so that i lose all sense of time and space, falling prey to my own creation. I just so happen to find, that before me, is a cloud, and inside the cloud, i see...i see a man who is grown, holding the hand of a girl who is not, eyes locked, smiles beaming. She looks like him, tan skin, dark hair, with dark brown fox eyes, and a sideways smirk that can reassure anyone. She lets go of his hand, and faces me..walking closer, until she is right in front of me, with her palm out. "Daddy...I know that things get tough..But it will get better...I know what you want...and we both know you wont stop until you get it..so keep going...Keep chasing after it dad...You will be the best...and your family will love you for it...and you..will be...so proud...I love you dad...so don't give up...keep growing..and come back to me one day...." I feel a finger against my cheek, and a smirky-smile look back at me, as the clouds start to swirl, and the image fades..Is this a dream? Could it be a glimpse into my future..Or is it just the aching wish of my own heart. In the back of my mind, i hear a phrase.."One can't rush these things...but until then..until your heart is given..until your heart is got...you have to Keep Moving Forward..". Instead if watching..i let myself step back, a faded image lasting long after the cloud has vanished. Slowly the world stops spinning, and the world becomes sharper. I open my eyes to find a world that i have long been in, but something is different..I look around, and nothing has changed. I listen..and nothing sounds out of place..yet something is different. I see a reflective mirror..and i know what has changed. Myself. Not my looks, or my clothes..but my eyes..I see something in them that i have not seen..I see my eyes looking back at me...But i see more than just my own...
