catch

i wound the clock and set the time... yeah the clock kept losing 10 minutes every 24 hours.. i guess other spring wound clocks kept time better than mine.. but then it seemed that my clock dedicated 10 minutes every day to some unknown spirit... but then did that amount to lost time??
Anyways i set the alarm ..i had to wake up early.. tomorrow was another day.. had to start early..
I lay down on my bed.. and looked at the ceiling hoping that sleep would envelope my mind and let me forget what had happened a few hours ago... looking at the ceiling.. it felt like i was in a theater looking up at the screen while sitting in a front bench in a cheap theater... the events of the evening started rolling on that screen for now..
was i dreaming or was it just letting my mind wandering.. conjuring images on the ceiling... in a state of semi consciousness i guess it didn't matter... the mind wants to believe what its seeing and yes i couldn't force my faculties to arrest that urge to let go and drift.. i let myself slide into that state.. more willingly than not... felt that ease of mind and body seeping into me.. and the image on the screen became more vivid...

lovely evening.. walking by the shore of th lake seeing those daffodils shaking their heads in the nice breeze wafting in from the east.. a crimson colour spread out over the water and the grass by the lake from the setting sun... bliss is how i would like to define it... walking by myself.. admiring nature in its splendor.. a peaceful calm descended on me... with every step the feel of the grass on my bare feet reminding me of my connection to the earth... as i walked....

amidst nature i can be lost in my thoughts for hours and not complain... and such was this time... i wanted to just stay and watch the sunset... sometimes looking at the sunset reminds me of all the people who've been like it.. shining a whole lot of light and happiness in my life and at some point their sun set and left me in darkness but that had to happen eventually and whose sun would wake me up the next morning i didn't know. For now i've been in a dark long night for long as the one big sun i had has set on me and as i pondered that and found my way along the winding path away from the lake towards my home. The sun was no longer visible and the little light at dusk that was still there was giving a eerie feeling to the place which a few minutes back was as beautiful as a dream.

Walking down the path i heard a noise behind me, knowing that i was alone and hadn't seen anyone for the long hour that i had been there i was surprised and turned around...... (to b continued..)
