Life moved on in spite of his inclinations to stay in one place , dragging
his mind through the alleyways of insecurity, scratching out undecipherable
catharsis on its walls. He wished he could go back to his good old comfortable
existence where everything was just predictable, everything except his emotions,
which by this time had been consumed most of his ailing spirit. It was more
like he was washed away on a wave he was surfing, not knowing the direction
of the tide; like being on the wrong train going in some direction different
, feet glued to the floor, immovable, looking beyond the windows on
the changing scenery getting more and more difficult to keep track on. There
was something he would like to pack if he ever wanted to move on. He had
voices of people echoing in his mind with reassurances, he had the music
of life, he had the urge to look beneath each pebble, he had the brushes
to paint characters in his mind. He had the courage to start everything he
seemed unfamiliar to.
He knew he had love in his mind like a matured wine, but at that point he
was afraid that he will let it go to the gutters, where there is no one to
appreciate the moments it stayed in his mind, away from the lights, maturing
with anticipation and a spirit getting stronger. He was unsure what sort
of existence he would have tomorrow, not because he was worried about it,
but probably he wanted to plan it, like a funeral director arranging things
for himself. He knew he had some control, but by that time, he did
not want to do anything which will undoubtedly prove that he was unknowingly
chasing his destiny.
He knew what he has, he knew he had love in his mind. Like a table from a
luxury dinner party, it remained pristinely clean and well stocked. Probably
no one ate anything, although it was appetizing to their senses, probably
they were busy with running their own life and never bothered to sample what
he had. He was uncomfortable as a host, finding it was not his style to call
each and everyone to sample what he has put for them to taste.
He wished he would finally end up with someone who would stay with
him to explore the untouched delicacies, staying awake with the ramblings
of his mind, picking up each and everything till the stars appear, with midnight
breeze bringing the fragrance of the unknown wild flowers, listening to the
whisperings of the leaves and wind.
Then he had dreams, the same never ending dreams of visiting that far away
place where he knew how to traverse all the mazes of the corn field. He knew
all the montage, being there everyday for him to sample the frames, he knew
he just have to be there, to feel it, to make his senses available to whatever
was poured on him till the last drop , before he wakes up
