Time slipped like sand in the ocean
Silence amplified my thoughts
I got lost
Wandering endlessly in a quest for forgetfulness and balderdash
Since the day I surrendered to chaos and oddities
I’ve never realised the intention of my fate
Without any concern about my purposes
Whenever I looked at the sky there was always something missing inside my heart
Maybe it was
Perhaps it was not
Or would I have been destined to oblivion?
Confused while I was tasting the bitter nectar of awareness
I didn’t pay any attention to my pathway
That I was lost I knew not
All I could perceive was the sight of a crimson aura all around me and a prosperous garden of splendid crimson roses
Ravens and crows were flying all around me together with magnificent butterflies
Time slipped like sand
And there was no mirror where I could see an image of myself
It was like my countenance was invisible to every silver surface
Nonetheless, my real delight relied on the trepidation of my slumber
During which I strove to touch the stars while I was vexed by the gloomy clouds
Abruptly the mysterious songs of nocturnal birds woke me up
Did I know where I was?
I believe not and it didn’t even matter to me
The foremost commodity was that the time slipped like sand in the emptiness
I had forgotten the voices of anthropoids and their shadows didn’t bother me anymore
Fortunately for me
I was fortunate to discover that I had got lost in the wilderness of my dreams
Indeed, I didn’t need to follow any path any longer
For I was now more than ever unburdened from both my past and my future
The candles of expectation had gone out
The sparkles of desires and love had been swallowed by the night that whispered my name no more.
