Challenge
Emotion: Ambedo
n. a kind of melancholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—briefly soaking in the experience of being alive, an act that is done purely for its own sake

.
Write short prose or poem expressing this emotion. Regardless of which on you choose it has to be expressed within 6 to 12 sentences ( prose) or lines (prose or poem).
I'll be doing four more of these challenges later. Thank you Thought Catalog for gathering these wonderful words. May the games begin!

On the 18th of January, I'll be starting Nodus Tollens as my Emotion challenge.
Magnify
The raisin, like a whole landscape of ridges and valleys,
The smell like an orchard on the edge of your nose.
Powered water, pinprick hot, ricochets off your body; showered water.
Echo. Echo. Echo. Each step bouncing off the hall’s walls
As you stride through the atrium.
Thud-dump-thud-dump-thud-dump, hear your heart pumping faster
As your breath whooshes through your lungs like a metro train not stopping.
See the web, in the corner, hanging droplets clinging on
Like a chandelier of water suspended on a silken thread.
Deep inside, the answers have been waiting there for you,
Yet you ignored them; immersed outside yourself.
Look within; the answers lie within.
