evanescence

he was running ... running and running, fast and faster. the tall grass hardly could stop him. he looked around him as if challenging the wind to overtake him. his hair being blown away with his speed. yet momentarily some time back he had felt tired, sluggish and slow. but now he was running on the vast green fields. it was green grass all around and his eyes could make out those brown mountains in the distance. there was the afternoon sun in all its splendour, looking at it directly sent a warm chill up his spine. he wanted to reach for the sun ... soon he saw what he was running into , a drop and he didnt know what that was. he didnt care.

he ran faster as he saw the end, his face flushed with happiness .. bright and glowing in the sunshine. his brain had no thoughts, wow he was now only 10 steps away .... 5 .. 4 and saw the most beautiful cliff he had ever seen and endless blue water below. it was exhilirating.

and before everything could register in his brain, he felt no ground under his feet. ah he was in air !! floating ? he was tired but now he was resting in those invisible arms. he closed his eyes. he was tired, a heavy feeling in his head. there were moments when he felt irritated for no reason, frustrated that things werent going his way. sometimes he felt bad, thinking about how people will react ... he cared a little too much or maybe he didnt. maybe he hurt people a little too much. he wanted his mind to be simple , uncluttered , uncomplicated .. he wanted to feel like now .. there was no feeling. he was gently swaying in the air from side to side... feeling very smug. the sun kept him warm enough, the trees kept him pleasant , the birds sang .. and he felt light .. he felt uncomplicated ... he was descending slowly to the vast expanse of water. it was blue , the sunlight bounced off from the surface , glittering sparkles , it felt serene ... and he hit the water.. the fluid covered him completely in no time at all. he vanished into oblivion. he no longer existed above the water..

the alarm rang and he woke up. it is yesterday once more..
