…become the one that I am now? I was all the same from the time I could remember. But still somewhere I fell out of track. Not sure where or how! When it taught me many things, I sat there like an obedient student. But still don’t know where I lost my confidence; I came back searching for it in the deep sea. I was unaware that I can find it inside me myself if I can spare some time searching for it within me!
All familiar faces, but all are having grim expressions. The only one who smiled at me was that lonely star. I can see that winking at me. I remember seeing it when I went through this path before - letting myself to be stolen unknowingly. When the words were buried down - where the waves were all still - where even the wind wasn’t hissing. I tried to slide myself out of its clutches - to reach nowhere!
And here when I stand looking back at those dried maple leaves, I felt that same sand drifting out from beneath my feet. I looked at each of those recognized but unrecognized faces. I was able to see the clouds moving apart paving the way for the sky to pour out its mind. It transferred that cold love it carried for all the way long down to me. But I realized that grip was strong enough to make me turn to face the path in front of me.
When it locked my eyes with hers - I pushed myself forward to see the same kind of human being inside her. Like a kid having a new doll, my mind laughed and laughed and laughed. She moved the curtain aside to show me the other world – the other little world – that I always wished to see. Not sure if it will always laugh, but sure even my tears will be laughing then in this world. Not sure if the waves are enough to make your feet wet, but sure they will never be dead again. Not sure if the wind is blowing in the right direction, but I am sure it will never forget to hiss again - never ever!
