Eyes of Solace

The world seeped in through the holes in her vision
like an incoming subway train
her surroundings seemed
to slow to a stop in front of her.
She had opened her eyes,
not because she wanted to,
but because her human curiousity
outweighed her prayers
that it was all a dream.

Heat.
There was fire.
She finally registered the surroundings
her eyes had been taking in for several moments
just to realize that the traumatic explosion of matter
only brought her to the conclusion
that she was still alone.
So she stoodand briskly headed off,
so sure of where she was going,
yet with no idea of her destination.
It seemed that the despicable heat of the flames
naturally drove her to water...
