Vortex

“A mass of whirling fluid, especially a whirling mass of water or air that sucks everything near it toward its center.

Something likened to a whirlpool, as in violent activity or the tendency to draw into its current everything that surrounds it.”

The liminal space between his body and mine became a large valley filled with a crescendo of emotions. I looked up to the sky to find solace: to escape reality and replace it with the safe space of my dream – my world in the clouds . It escaped me.

Instead there was the dark, bewitching vortex of charcoal and payne’s grey just ominously towering above my head. Just there. Suddenly. Unexpected at the end of a beautiful summer’s day. It enveloped my whole body and my soul started uttering an anxious scream. I could not escape to my beautiful dense and bright orange Cumulonimbus dream awaiting me beyond this powerful, painful current. The dark cloud was keeping me from reaching beyond.

I wanted cry out for help. But there was only silence. I could not speak.

A storm was on its way.
