A large spiral staircase in pure white
Illuminated with a tint of blue
As an overwhelming sensation takes hold
Of walking into a giant shell
Engulfed in feelings of serenity
When I realize I’m holding my breath
Peace washes over everything in our path
The sweet scent of happiness bathes the room
I proceed up the staircase
As life shouts in my face, making me wince
I stop to breathe in the smell of happiness
And push the shouting to the edge of the shell
When I stop to listen,
a deep cleansing enables me to step once more
Listening to the calmness
as the shouts are edged out
I can feel the future
in the colors of the shell
