The Dream

The man woke up with a burning passion, a longing desire and a feeling of emptiness. He was woken up by a sudden jolt from a dream - a dream that always touches his heart, mind, body and soul.

Twice before he had this dream, exactly the same way. But those two times were a few months when things are much different in reality than this third time. The subject of his dream has always been in his mind, and so is it sub-conscious playing on him, or is it a Sign from Above, or a distraction by devil? But it can't be the devil cause the man always says his prayers before sleep.

Twice before he had dreamt the same dream, and twice he had woken up at this exact very moment in the dream leaving him wondering an wandering. Its like the Best Director ending the episode in a suspense cliff-hanger, for the man to patiently wait for the next episode.

It wasn't a rather long dream, at least at the woken stage the man remembers it to be rather short. He remembers the subject of his "dreams", the desire of his heart, the girl or rather the Lady he loves sitting all alone and forlorn on a tree log on a beach. The Man can't exactly remember whether its just before dawn or just after dusk, but the skies are dark, but not the darkest of deep night. Some stars twinkle their shiny lights, and some clouds move to obscure it. It was breezy and cold, and wave after wave of the shallow lagoon breaks near her on the beach where she is sitting all alone.

The girl sits there clad in black in the darkness, or is it the blackness of night that makes her appear dressed in black, the Man can't remember. The girl sits there in silence as if counting the innumerous waves, feeling the breeze while engulfed in darkness.The girl sits there waiting in loneliness, as if waiting for someone to lift her solitariness and accompany her for rest of her moments. It's as if she had waited long enough.

Then the Man sees, himself approaching to her from a distance, and a faint smile runs over the beautiful lips of the girl.  The man approaches her, from the beach with shallow waves playing on his bare-foot. He approaches her with intention and a longing look, as if saying "now I am here, don't be alone anymore". The man approaches her closing the distance between them and reaches for, to embrace her to hug her...and she moves towards him...

At that very moment, the cloud obscures the sky lights and darkness between them gets darker.. and at that very moment the Man wakes up with a sudden jolt. He never knew whether he reached the girl, embraced her or even touched her.. The Man woke with an agony at the heart and relentless thoughts in his mind. But he was sure the dream doesn't end there..but just something is waking him up to reality of today...But why is this dream recurrent?

The Dream shall continue..Maybe the Man will see the next part of it, and what it beholds - in dream and in reality.
