Reflections in time...

The journey, the voyage, to no clear destination seemed a void, which did not have any fortune in store for me. My soul, lost...no one knows where. The drive from the east coast to the west, i thought, would relieve some of the pain i had striven to endure throughout my life...my life...a life full of battles, many of which i had lost. Though the journey, another battle, against time, was an appendage to my pains, but for once i did not give up. I longed to fulfill my last wish, my last desire, though i could not see through the mist in my head- i did not know what it was. Yet, i was to discover that soon. I somehow figured, in my fading hours, i thought of what i had achieved in life...more so, what i can achieve in life.

I see the sparkling water now. I stepped on the sand...barefoot. I sat on a rock and gazed across the ocean, i looked around...everyone was happy, cheerful...i was happy for them...i was happy for them for they were not like me...I looked across the sea again. The sun, now almost fully drowned in the ever so elegant sea, appeared as a giant ball of fire, worn out in the sands of time. The rest of the sky gleamed with the good-bye's of the sun, shining far across mainland. The scenario, as magical and enchanting as dreams themselves, left me spellbound, dazed and as still as a figurine, boasting of seeing the ever so beautiful sunset. The sunset, no less than a masterpiece was reality...at its utmost best. Reality, i thought...what i had not faced. Though, i forgot all that. I was content, satisfied however, in a strangely uncomplicated manner. Maybe because this was my last wish. Yes, it was...it was my last wish...happy, more than ever, content, more than ever...i lay down on the loose sand...
