Nostaligia for a time I never experianced...
Sometimes if I sit too still, if I let my heart wander freely for too long, I start to feel a certain sort of reflective nostalgia that I can't quite explain.
I feel myself swaying to the uptempo beat of a muggy, jazz filled night, the air thick with grain alcohol and heady romance.ย
I feel my heart soar at the news of the German's defeat, thousands of souls around me dancing and singing at the bitter wars end. Am I nurse bedecked in white garb, or am I a soldier who just returned home?
I feel myself dancing barefoot and slightly high, in a mud laden field, sweet music pouring from the guitar of a boy who would leave this world all too soon.
I feel myself weightless, unburdened by gravity. The world below me, merely a blueberry that homes 3 billion ants.
I feel myself passing through time and space, this solar system, this galaxy merely a blip on a forever road map, as I rocket past the endless stars.
How does one cope with feeling bigger and older than their own soul?
