Canoe

I wanted to move, but I couldn’t. Because, the weight was too heavy. So, I took the only option I had. I jumped into a canoe, threw away my paddle, and looked into the sky. The clouds were moving, and I just kept looking at them. Seasons changed, rain came, but it didn’t sink my canoe. I wanted to sit back and watch where I’m going, but this was all I could do, and I’m hoping that this heaviness doesn’t affect my journey for long. Sometimes, the birds find shelter in this canoe, and they talk to me about the things happening around the world. Right now, they are the only ones who care about me. As I float through these waters, I feel some relief, maybe I will get better with time. Until then, I will just keep floating. What if this canoe takes me to somewhere magical.

Truth

 Having truth on your side gives you some kind of power that goes even far beyond Death. Strength to face anything, forgive mistakes even if we do something insane. I haven't done anything that I can't say openly about, the one thing I kept it as a secret was this, we had so many kittens in our home, they were all feeding on syringes, of course, without needles. It was like four or five of them, but when I returned it to the place they rest, one of them was not responding well, it's health deteriorated and it fell and all these time I had this thought that if I placed it little more carefully, maybe it wouldn't have fallen. The next day, there was this Rose bloomed in front of our house, it felt like I had to do something, so I took it and placed above its grave, I think my mother saw that, and she had a good laugh about that.

Travel

 What will I do if someday I have to move out of this house? I will travel to places no one reached. Why? Maybe I will find my broken pieces to fix myself like nothing ever happened in my life. Then where will I go, I will go to heights to be with clouds, and see a world outside of human perspective and someday I will come back to enjoy the rising sun and wish never an afternoon from now on. Instead we skip to the setting sun and finally welcome the  Moon to see the stars.

Sleep

 What will I do if this is my last day of Life? Like every other day, I will breathe. We invite the monster to have a final say, and they try their best to close my eyes, and we fight just to keep our eye from getting closed. Muscles develop in our eyelids by doing so regularly. Sometimes I think how peaceful is to submit to the tendency to sleep, a deep and conscious sleep, but something keeps telling me it's not the kind of sleep anyone wish for, still I like when I was a kid, how I wake up looking at the clock, five more minutes, that comfort in sleeping that way, how five minutes feels like five seconds.
