THE PLEASING NIGHTMARE

Every night i encounter a strange entity the moment i fall into the hypothetical land.

Surprisingly, that entity pays its visit in my dream just to provide me the things which this harsh reality doesn’t look up to.

The night pleases me, because the stars are visible and staring at the moon is easy unlike the daylight which haunts me.

The time spent with the faceless entity in my dream is too minimal in reality.

But, the time I spend with her is very comforting and is enough to seize the stress i carry all day.

The first thing she does when we meet is to give me a tight hug as if we reunited after ages. I have never felt a hug more divine than her’s.

And when i’m awake i can hear her voice in my mind reminding me that no matter what, i have a shoulder to cry on to, i have an entity who will talk me out of my miseries.

We run around the green hills filled with yellow daffodils, the sun was bright as ever, the winds were kind and gentle. The cool breeze blowing her hair.

Later on the hill top i lie on her lap, while her hair tickles my face, she gives me a kiss on my forehead and reminds me about the struggle left to turn that entity into reality.

I feel safe lying on her lap and to talk out the miseries i have been through the day.

I feel in soo much comfort with her that I relate myself to a wounded soldier with arrows in his back stabbed deeply, seeking peace with his soulmate after a war.

After all, Its just a dream which runs in loop. For how long? Not sure.

It’s just a Faceless young girl,

it’s just the sweetest voice I’ve ever heard.

It’s just a divine entity which symbolizes a person from the future or the past.

I don’t know…

THE ROAD

According to Lewis carroll,

       “IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE ARE YOU GOING, ANY ROAD WILL GET YOU THERE”

For human beings, all living creature exists on the Earth, sky, mountains, trees, and many natural wonders are visible to the eye because of the road. For vehicles and pedestrians alike, the road is essential. Even airplane, before taking off, first moves on the road, its wheels rolling briefly on the ground before it lifts off and soars into the sky, only to land back on the road.

Countless wheels signals, more than four roads converge at the one point, and zebra crossing are marked on the road, vehicles stop due to red light, and pedestrians walk across safely. The way road is used reflects human ingenuity – vehicles stop, and pedestrians walk on zebra lines. The road guides us, having been created by digging the ground. It leads us in many directions, offering experiences and feelings to those who travel on it. The is stable, accommodating everything that travels across it. It plays a crucial in everyone’s life.

THINK ABOUT FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

*How far have you came?

*How did you get here?

*what helped to reach this place?

This kinds of questions arise in someone’s mind, and the answer often highlights the word “ROAD”.

Roads are constructed by digging the ground, carving through mountains, and building bridges over the water bodies.

WHISPERS OF A GROUNDED SOUL

 

In a meadow green, an ant did fret,

Its feathers gone, in sorrow set.

Once it soared with grace so high,

Now it ponders, “Why, oh why?”

 

Wings that danced in skies so blue,

Now but memories, faded too.

Confused and tense, it roams the land,

Seeking purpose, trying to understand.

 

Pain and ache in every stride,

A heavy heart it cannot hide.

“Am I still me without my flight?

Can I find joy in earthbound light?”

 

In shadows cast by doubts so vast,

It dreams of skies and a brighter past.

But in the grass, it starts to see,

Life’s still full of mystery.

 

For even grounded, beauty’s near,

In every dawn and twilight’s cheer.

With aching heart, it learns to find,

Strength and peace in a grounded mind.
