Extent.


For a moment,
    this all made sense.


The cloudiness of my mechanical mind
    cleared
Rays of understanding shone through
    the murky, humid atmosphere


I felt the warmth of an answer
A sensation to qualm my constant
    wondering
Anxious wondering






The sky no longer rained questions.


Just answers.
Dry. 

-----

I saw you.

On a Sunday.

So nervous.

It was a mountain I needed to climb just to make it through the door.

I stalled. I panicked. 

Internal screams.

But the first sight,

The first glimpse of your outline,

Your figure,

Your presence in sync with mine,

The mere reality of your existence 

    Put me at ease.

The mountain

The strain

      vanished ---

      transformed

               into valleys

Wide, and endless

A whole new landscape of possibility. 

Options extended into infinity, beyond the skyline, 

but it did not matter.

Because finally

I was calm.
