Bemused

It was a musky street and I was walking through it bemused accompanied by a pale shadow in that utter silence.

Time was moving slowly and so was my steps which were becoming heavy with every passing second. The street was echoing with the sharp pattering of the rain on the old cracked cemented roads and the sound of my heavy leather boots.

Memories were flashing in my mind and my blood was gushing through my veins as if it will ooze out and burst out of my body.

I was walking..running..rather competing with my own self. I wanted to stop thinking.I wanted to erase all my memories but the harder I tried the tighter I was wrapped in those memories.

That Street ended leaving me to choose between left and right.

On left was my memories and on right was a divine soul asking me to come and hug him and disappear into that white paradise of silence.

I stood there thinking for almost an hour. But nothing helped, I wasn't able to come up with a path to choose.

It was exactly at 12 o'clock in that big old and rotten tower hall clock..

It was midnight and the rain has stopped and so as the time when I just without giving another thought.. Turned towards left after a deep breath.

A turmoil of memories and a hurricane of pain wrapped me tightly in his arms.. I could see that bright yellow light of divine soul fading.. fading..and ultimately disappearing.

We indeed are humans, we have a safe path free of past, pain, and sorrows but still, we go on the path that leads us to the storm of memories accompanied with the dust of pain.
