I’m standing on a border in between 2 trees one blossoming with cherry blossoms the other a gnarled black tree surrounded in red spider lilies. The clouds suddenly turn black and Misty. The blossoms from the cherry tree all wilt and surround me like a cloud the branches and vines hold me down pulling me every direction the petals cutting my skin and clothes and I’m crying and I’m scared it feels like I’m drowning then a storm starts and lightning strikes but as it hits the ground the vines let go and a path opens up I follow it to the black tree I’m crying again but I’m not scared anymore I feel peaceful then I lie down and the tree’s branches hug me and I’m just lying there listening to the storm. Then it changes and I’m standing on a stage in front of an empty audience and suddenly a slow clapping starts and standing there is my class spread out and They’re all smiling but crying I see them mouthing something and it takes me a minute but they’re saying let go and then I’m feeling warm then it ends.
