Blue.
What about blue…?
Yeah, what about it…
Blue is the sky.
Blue is the sea.
Some eyes are blue.
Some jeans are blue.
Some flowers are blue.
Some fishes are blue.
Some music is blues.
Some cars are blue.
Some nights are blue.
Sometimes I dream in blue.
Last night I dreamt that I got
submerged
into an infinite ocean.
A blue ocean.
Not populated by any species.
An empty ocean.
Occasional light flashes guided me.
Deeper and deeper.
The water gets blacker.
Heavier.
I start to feel the pressure.
The immense weight of millions of tons of water.
The flashes continue.
Fighting my fear
I keep diving.
Then, another being
looking a lot like me
appears just out of nowhere.
Not far.
At an undetectable distance.
Waving his hand
telling me to follow.
I don’t know if I can trust that being.
Why does he want me to go even deeper…?
What is down there…?
Ok, what the hell…
I follow.
I reach the trench.
What I see now are the remains of Atlantis.
My ancient home.
Buried memories.
I explore my sunken world.
I find my old books.
The lessons of the past.
Partially rotten
almost totally eaten by resilient bacteria.
The books that told me
of my future above the surface…
