The Unknown

If there is a hand that I could shake, I would shake a thousand hands before I walk through the gate, if there is a heart that I could break, I would break ten thousand hearts until I find the correct path.

The journey is not for me alone, it is the gravity that keeps pulling me around and the sentiments that I feel, keeps pinching me on my heels forcing me to confronts my own dreams; it is not the dream that I dream of, it is the dream that the universe force on me and I have to make it my destiny.

I enter the universe searching for a space to stretch but there was so much clutter around, I had to clear up the dead woods from the town and drain the negative energy that is saturated in thin air and cleanse the entire atmosphere.

It is the clutter that surrounds me, that is feasting on my energy and the dogs prowling around the streets at night gathers at the gate and fighting with each other; they have no special home and they keep roaming around the town bawling out at nights and conjuring a dog fight and the young baboon hiding in the tree looking on them like a fierce referee.

If I could create magic in the sea, I would make all the fish come running after me, I would give each one a name and a place to live and build a village on top of the hill with running water connected to the stream and lots of space to add an extra bridge to accommodate the traffic that climb up the hill.

I would entertain the white sharks and the seagulls after dark and put a barrier around the grounds to contain the energy that is moving around and when the task is complete, I will walk to the top of the hill  and examine the four corners of the earth and make a wish before I cross over.

I stepped out into the unknown to see what I have found but a multitude of lights surround me and the floodgates creeps up slowly behind me and providence screams loudly in the streets and disrupts my heart beat and daylight  burst the door open and I finally crossed over on the other side.
