Juxtaposition of this and the other side

These days my eyes seem to see a lot

I never knew I could see so much with my eyes closed

The silence of the forest

Is calling me, pulling me and crying for me.

I close my eyes

I see myself lying on the grass

The brightness of the sun appears dark

The chirping of the birds sounds like a beautiful song

The lake beside asks me to calm down

The trees ask me to sleep under them

The ground asks me to lie down

The sky asks me to close my eyes

And as I lay there, I forget who I am

I forget the daily tasks I need to do

The race I am running everyday

The people that are observing me

I stay there and want to be there

And yet again the forces within me

Came to pull me back

Back to the material world

The world I want to leave

The world that is consuming me

Every inch and bit of me

Trying to balance its tasks

Against the uniqueness I have got

Trying to neutralize everything

And I am sinking again

The life is pushing me

Pushing me harder. And harder. And Harder

And I close my eyes

And I am back to that old place

Where the nature is comforting me..

Let me be there……….
