Afterglow

I’ve been thinking about this one forever it seems. I’m still not sure that I have it right. I’m trying to capture what we go through after we have experienced something amazing. That parallel feeling of trying to imbed the moment inside you while simultaneously feeling it slipping away. You capture something, but it is a fragment at best and you know you’ve lost something important.

I don’t think this one is finished. So, if you have any thoughts you’d like to share with me, I’d welcome the feedback.

Afterglow
She was full with so many things. Her heart pulsing until she could feel it everywhere. Dizzy, bursting, spilling over. She tried to gather it all up, to pull it around herself tight, capturing some while others slipped away. She was desperate to hold on, to always feel this way. She looped the images over and over in her mind willing them to stay but the edges muted and faded with each turn until all that was left was a sensation that she had lost something.
