It stinging, it’s swollen, a shade of red, and hot. Oh my eyes! Crying can be a great stress reliever. No doubt about that. But this one was just so confusing. It’s that type of confusion when I’m trying to think and take in the situation of what I had just found out. Unfortunately, the only thing that I can see is myself walking at such a slow pace on such an endless road.
Step after step nothing seems to change. Not a single rock, leaf, or bird flying along side me way up high. I'm walking in place, or at least I think I am. In a way I am content because it gives me time to think. Then the other part I become struck by nausea. It upsets me because I’m not taking action. I’m not moving that single rock, leaf, or chasing after that bird to make it fly to another direction.
Step after step everything is starting to change. The road is starting to get rocky the further I go. A gust of wind slightly pushes me back. The fallen leaves - a mix of green, orange, gold, and brown - distorting my vision. As I look down, not only do I see my shadow, but a shadow of that vulture. That hideous looking creature. Circling me non-stop.
Running is most definitely what's not in mind. Nope. Not at all. It's skipping. Skipping makes me happy. It reminds me of hopscotch. One, two, three, four. I skip five because that's were the rock landed. & losing is no fun. There are numerous times to when I would try to land on the fallen brown leaves when I skip on the sidewalk. For some odd reason the sound and the feel of that leaf crunch underneath my foot... is so soothing. But no, I cannot skip with a bird. My choice? Skipping to the closet yard, lay myself down and gaze at the vast sky with shapely clouds that are gently passing. I close my eyes and listen to the birds chirp put me to sleep.
It's cramping, it's define, a shade of pink, and warm. Oh my cheeks! Smiling is always the best step to
moving forward in life. Defy gravity, smile. :) |
