Running to catch the cloud of dream


I was in a deep sleep then I suddenly woke up by the noise of someone knocking in my door. I open the door and there was no one. I looked at the both sides of the door but again I saw no one . I locked the door and in such an drowsing state I again fell in the bed. I started to slumber peacefully. Slowly  and gradually I felt the whole atmosphere in warm tones of red and orange something gleaming in my heart was flying away from the earth to the skyline. I was annoyed with myself for allowing it to fly so easily  . With a growing sense of foreboding, my eyes got wide open. I sensed the different atmosphere and smell the leaving aroma. I started to chase the delicate fragrance with the aid of my toes. I run and run to catch it but that perfume get disappeared in the vicinity. I lost the thread that could lead me to the coccon. But what I still noticed was the cloud with a peculiar shade gradually dissolving in the emptiness of the sky. That cloud was the one which draw me from my bed to this empty space. What was it, probably a symbol from the god, I thought. So again I ran  down through the street with my bare feet towards the infinity With my bare feet towards the infinity. Nothing and neither could I have a slipper, but I thought I got more a light for a  second and I felt an overwhelming desire to approach it and to get near it to sense it again. I ran among the crowd for the search of the inner peace i.e for seeing my dream once again. I climbed up to the home of the god to see the moving world with the eye of the god because it’s the eye of the leader of vision. My eyes could only see rushing people and how could I see my eyes are mine I thought. But I still waited, I waited for the glowing light or the spreading perfume .Slowly and gradually the vision blurred. For the seconds I felt like the world get jammed and got dissolved in its own periphery. I saw nothing all the houses, peoples etc turned into the feeble stain and from the zenith a small spot of the light emerged. I felt well for the first time and closed my eyes to surrender to the emperor. I opened my eyes then I found myself in the rushing world but still I could feel the bright light in my heart creating a cold breeze over my whole body……….
