I saved a dry rose and I told myself around this flower something
extraordinary would take place. I would ponder thinking life is endless and in
my little jail I want to explore the wonders of the world, I decided to build a
tree house, it was 6am the fog just made
everything more significant it was a sign that what I was doing had meaning.
The plan looked perfect except I forgot some details I have no latter and I was
certain I didn’t have the strength to pull up heavy chunks of wood, so I
decided to build a tent. I grabbed a hammer and pulled down my father’s tool
bag such an arduous task. We had a roll of fabric that my father had brought
from work so I held my handy dandy scissors and started building my little
world. It took about an hour to complete everything at the end it looked pretty
decent. I remember grabbing the dry rose placing it on the middle of a book
cover then I drew flowers all around the rose I then grabbed clear tape and
insanely tape the flower onto the book cover the end result was beautiful so I
told myself what a gorgeous frame, and that’s exactly what I used it for. I
walked into my tent placed the frame in the middle of the tent, I felt
accomplished I felt like I was living in my dream.
I felt like my experience needed something out of this world so I
grabbed my Sony Walkman “outside the rain” by Stevie Nicks was playing, it made
me stand up and I slowly started swaying from side to side, my head started
moving to the beat while the swaying wouldn’t cease it was more than a feeling
it was a vision to a world that I wanted to be a part of, I was only 12 I’m not
even sure I understood the depth of the song. I then told myself wouldn’t it be
phenomenal if it would suddenly start snowing inside my hand made tent. I start
scanning my dad’s things hoping to find something I could use and then suddenly
I see something that made me smile, an immense amount of packing white
peanuts!! I jumped in joy and carried
the box inside my rose tent. The following events would make even an old soul
dance in joy, I was dancing throwing those packing peanuts up in the air for
those few minutes I was ____ I still can’t find the world to express my feeling
it’s like this quote “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be
seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart” I was missing something! An EPIC outfit! So I
walk inside the kitchen its Saturday so my mother is making breakfast, I was
ecstatic to see her she had been very sick and to see her standing up gave me
butterflies. She said “I like your dance moves” and I said “mom! How embracing”
she laughed. She said what are you doing? I’m going to change, I already had an
outfit in mind a very long black lace dress that was extremely dramatic to wear
in public but in my Rose tent it would shine. While I changed “Happy together”
played in the back in resent days that song always makes me think of this day.
I ran out the door went inside my tent and started dancing some more my
mother called me in, she made pancakes Oh how I love them!!! I sat down on the
kitchen table but what I really wanted was to watch some cartoons so I said can
I please see some TV she said “Yes” just finish your food. I was sitting down
watching “Garfield” I really never liked this cartoon I don’t understand why I was
watching it, while I was watching TV and eating in a totally 90’s looking coach
you know the ones with the wacky prints hahahaha! Stacy my cat jumped onto the
window and I suddenly stopped watching TV I started wondering, hummm I wonder how this
would look through her eyes…. after that I changed into some pants and T-Shirt
to explore the back yard as a Cat! – It was 6pm the sky was wonderful full of
pink and golden lights every single time the sky resembles that day I start …… TOMY’s
candies just kidding hahahaha!!!
