WANDERERS – VII

Many hours vanished and a hot sunny day was turning into a crimson red evening as incidents from the past played in slow motion! His sweat face was being cooled down by the trees around however the mind continuously thought and got heated up. Sunk in a disguised world, his body felt the pain sitting on hard rocks and he felt no mercy! 'You've to feel it, you need to feel this pain' he said to himself again.

The Sun who looked gorgeous last evening couldn't amaze him and fell silently behind the lake. Red and orange sky almost wore a black blanket and so did the lake, which also lacked waves or repulsions! A stone fell from somewhere and he saw the soft water-bed being stirred slowly. He smiled gently, for the first time that day! 'I'm stirred too, like you!' he thought and looked on.

Looking around he wondered how his thoughts changed from being impulse to subtle, being negative to a smile. 'If all that can happen within, with oneself, whats happening in the world is justified'. His world of people who ridiculed him, the loved one who separated, a new world which appeared deserted were making more sense to him as he waged the war with himself. But that didn't lead into any conclusion yet.

Night was falling and he went further deep into his own self not caring about food or shelter which he had anyways dejected before starting this journey. He had come to find peace, to understand everything, to answer every question that ever rose, to smile everyday and to see everyone around him smile too. But very early lost his sane mind and started feeling the same that he felt at his origin.

'No', he nodded and was coming into realization of the mistake that he feared of committing. 'I can't lose it, I've come to search and have wandered enough. I need to now sit back and create some space for it to sink in. What she said was right. I'm here to give, not receive'

Having said that loud and clear, he got up and stood on the rock feeling fresh cool air that had come from the other end mixed with the water from the lake and licked him gently all over his body. He felt a mild shiver, generous smile and a hug from the universe that looked exactly the way he had loved it last evening. 'Yes, it is the best scene indeed and I'm here to stay' he concluded and the winds blew with more love and the leaves fell on to decorate the route of their friend. 'We love you too' they all probably said!
