Gone
A dove flies out of my sight, its white wings swimming in the endless
ethereal blue sky. The bright sun blinds my eyes.. I feel dazed..
Everything is a blur..
Incomplete..
Nothing seems to make sense. I breathe liquid air as time stills…
Stills the beat of my heart.. My already two dimensional edges have
started fading.. The music lingering in my ears died.. A slow painless
death.. Sanity effervesced out of me. Even insanity didnt wanna diffuse
itself with me.. Incompleteness returned to haunt me.. A bright white
light chased it away, incompleteness was defeated. Emptiness
triumphed. The transformation was complete. I was no more. I wasnt a
ghost. Something more than that.. A memory.. In the mind of the dove,
now flapping with his wings..
The leaf fell from the tree, plunging into the abyss not quite
comprehending what it was it that broke an unbreakable bond,
falling., i couldnt understand which was more painful as the leaf
fell through me, the sadness of the leaf wrinkling away from the tree
or the tree’s loss .. The leaf crumpled as it hit the ground with the
softest thud and died away while the tree stood by realizing that
every leaf it lost was just as painful as the first. I screamed the
loudest scream for the tree, the leaf and myself.. The deafening
screams of choking silences kept coming competing with the heavens in
lamenting for the tree and the leaf. And i was exhausted the leaf
finally dead but the heavens kept pouring, trying to heal the gaping
wound of the tree, a soul so physically tortured that it could feel no
more.. And then there was nothing..
Peace.. at last..
