Sound of a Soul

Yet again! Was this bound to happen? Well that's what life says!
Didn't I foresee this day? Yes, I did; long back in fact!!! Still I held on to it with all my might; unaware of the meaninglessness... Assuming that another individual is my life, that I am living for someone else!
An autopsy of what went wrong is really loathsome, at least at this juncture. I wouldn't want to welter in grief and self pity, coz I have grown strong with time.

Lately, I realized that I have created a glass-misty fence around my mind, an invisible one. This was not built overnight; it was made layer by layer. Escalating distance and separation came as a boon of wisdom with every added layer. This doesn't obscure my vision; I still see many hearts smiling to themselves. Speaking to the breeze and listening to the whispers of the mute ally. But this murky fence has made me invisible to rest of the world. I have no grumble about it, for that was the underlying intention. I heard strange knocks on my glass fence in my dreams. Many a times I felt that the thud on my hazy glass fence sounded familiar. As if somebody from an unknown land, someone who knew that I existed was trying to reach out to me! But now that I am wise enough; I ignored those faint knocks.

After years, when I woke up from a deep siesta, I saw my glass fence wrecked at a corner. I walked up to take a closer look at the damage, I stood amazed. As I drew a finger alongside the damaged glass, my scrutinizing eyes found stains of blood frozen on the cold glass and an almost fading off palm impression below. A strange ache stirred deep in my gut, after years, I realized I am alive!The thought of that untiring effort of a soul to reach out to me, tore me. I felt my heart drumming wildly in my chest. A silent tear trickled down my cheek; did I still smile through that tear?

Inspite of consciously ignoring this silent presence, deep within my soul didn't I know? Of course, I did! Just before another tear could leave my eyes, there came Sunshine, peering through the misty fence; making way to reach me through the broken glass! The tender warmth of Sunshine bringing life back to me and I stand arms wide open to embrace life, for a fresh beginning!!!
