An Escape
An Escape
Frustrated from the agony of life….
I slowly closed my eyes but, it’s more like opening the eyes to a place where I am bringing myself, standing in the middle of a pathway bordered by Bermudagrass, very freshly bathed with dew drops which were decorating and shining like pearls on the green. The charming trees with most amazing canopies of orange and red are making the scene more alluring. The temperature is sweetly cold but I can feel the warm embrace of my favorite sun. I can smell the perfume of this environment, the emerging petrichor from the soil, the most pleasing natural scent which always makes me to inhale it greedily. It is so relaxing to me.
On the trees, in their nests, birds are watching me as if a new guest has arrived and they are chirping their best melodies. Air, with its happiest spirit is touching my skin like it wants to feel me. At some distance a big Sakura tree is calling me towards itself like a long lost friend. I ran like a kid towards her and she showered her white and pink flower on me when I looked up towards her and, there is my favorite sun watching me from behind the crown of my Sakura and smiling at me. He is rising higher and showing his power to me that how strong his rays are to burn me but at the same time he is hiding behind the clouds to protect me too.
I sat under the shade of Sakura to read something and nobody even dared to disturb me. They just kept watching me like, if they move or talk to me, I will leave the place and, they will become alone again. But this naughty sun doesn’t want to stop disturbing me as if he wants to play hide and seek with me. Well let him stay alone for the moment.huh!
Far away from a distance I can hear sound of running water, since everyone is quiet I can listen more clear. I stood, and followed the sound to see a beautiful flow of stream, ignoring the eyes of my favorite as he is angry and raising his power again. Now, I am standing near the stream with so many pebbles under my bare feet and stones at the banks. I tried to look at him to see if he is lowering his ego or not. But, he is not….With a sad heart , I sat on a stone where water was calm and steady and, put my feet in cool water that also seems so glad to sense my feet as I am.
So many cute, little and beautiful fishes in their colorful dresses and, with happy lips came to see me. I put my hands in the water to touch them but, they moved away with a fear. Soon they came again and kissed my palms and showed their pleasure. Hey! I can now see reflection of him in the water and look he is trying to touch me after cooling his rays by sending them to me through the water, so that it can’t hurt me much. I looked, he, behind me, in the reflection of us in the water. Now he is happy and smiling again. I also smiled and closed my eyes again to feel him but, he went away when I opened my eyes because it was just a dream……..
