Paralyzed

lying on a bed of searing ember; or
is it a late evening snow?
 
one final taste of the euphoric powder; all
that was needed to feel the addicting numbness
 
emerald eye’s, narrowed tranquil
gazing beyond heaven’s promised land; a
 
weightless feather, floating fog
mirrored self, drifting serenely  
 
under trees and wealth of falling leaves
golden summer rays [where] music sings a birds praise
 
battling to stay in this contented nirvana; fighting
the threads that are binding; pulled
back to the prison within
