Looking back on..

"Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home.”

The Night Fall
When the night falls,my senses arise. A night person I am. The darkness has so much to say. Serene,soothing and a sense of belonging. Solitude i always long for.I wait for the sun to go down....thats when i feel best.Post supper, I tuck myself into bed...tossing and turning i sense another attack. Sitting up straight,i turn to put my feet on the ground...i walk upto the door that opens out to an exit. As the breeze hits my body,a chill runs down my spine...relieving me of the numbness and discomfort that lies within. The night fall does magic to me.I love my space...losing myself in thoughts,where everything is so lucid...a world envisaged.The hustle of the wind brings me comfort, the dancing leaves cheer me up,the moonlight brings me hope..while the stars?? ah! i can gaze at them all night. As i let go of myself...my breathing gets easy..lost thoughts resurface . I hate it...but i love it. An uncluttered mind, the babel in my head has gone missing...a lighter me i find. Yes this is me.!

Stephen King once wrote.....

"Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again."
