Journey of a heart

One time, not long ago, when days were hot and hearts were too, the road ahead got blurred and was eventually lost. Thirst was intense. The wish to see a way ahead even more. But the thing about wishes is that they have their own laws.

Most of us want things or achievements, or basically anything which would keep us going and bring some sort of satisfaction when pocketed. What if you no longer know what you want? Some would say you’re privileged to have so much free time and energy as to reflect on it. Perhaps. But then, it’s not like you have to apologize for it.

Tired of wishing for things and achievements, a naive heart wished for justice. Honour for the righteous and punishment for the villains! Haha! Indeed.

Heart became sour. Crying over its lost innocence, the world around lost colour and appeal. Finding yourself in places which don’t represent your values and ideas, it’s inevitable that you’d ask yourself how come you got there. And then you ask yourself why to continue? Because a clear, green road might show itself around some corner? Because a like-minded soul might come roaming across your blur? If only the blur would go to hell! People too and the world altogether. Wishes. Laws.

Sour heart wished for silence. To quiet the voices of spirit and mind. Achieving that is not too complicated- body helps. Distract or tire it and there it comes- your silence.

Silenced heart asked itself what world without words was. Just imagine it. Nothingness. Heart discovered the infinity of nothingness. An ocean of it which you can only smile at. So it smiled.
