Tomorrow

She trudges heavily towards the bed unable to withstand the pains and aches that swarmed all over her body and then she  climbs onto the softness of the bed to cover herself with her warm and fluffy blanket.  She lays her head on her friend of confidence and shares her dreams of a tomorrow that she hopes will become her today.  Then she looks beyond the present into a future that only the dark night knows of and she sees among that darkness a white cloud that draws a smile on her face but eventually, it disappears in the emptiness of the night to remind her of her own hollow soul.

A Whisper of Love

The music so uplifting to the joy she felt has drawn her far away into a world of magic and romance.  So much love was felt through every musical note.  Her eyes were unable to hide the sentimental tears that have been lingering there for a while trying to escape the prison in which they were created.

Then, she heard the sound of raindrops heavenly touching the surface of this vast earth with their mighty softness to be only followed by the trudging of a horse that carried her charming prince from a faraway world to the sole existence of her sapphire soul.

Her dreams took her down an isle she has always aspired to experience.  She longed for the warmth of his hands cuddling her sweet and tender body only to touch her eyes with the gentleness that will finally open the long-shut eyes of hers.  They will open them to the beauty of a world she has always imagined and thought does not exist.

She held on to him with all the strength she had like death’s grip trying to inhale every breath of love and liveliness she can withhold.  She looked into his eyes with the deep affection she bore within her heart.  Hands held and limbs entangled, they walked the path they have walked a million times before to live a different emotion this time.  So honorable were the feelings that accompanied every step they took.  The tune that was playing in the background touched every nerve within her allowing her to experience the harmony that God has created among them to be witnessed by all those who came to commemorate the death of their past and the beginning of their future as one soul.

Happiness was their gospel by which they lived.  She longed for every sound that nature created.  The buzzes and the hushes along the dusk when the sun came down to sleep in its bed of beauty that laid there within the waves of such miraculous seas made every wish possible and every dream achievable.

Their steps grew faster while their hearts drummed stronger.  Earth seemed weaker and unable to withhold their love.  The wind was defying every single movement they made but still they were able to be strong enough not to adhere to all those mighty powers.  They continued until the music became an inseparable part of them.  They had to prove how great their love and affection is to withstand all what it had faced and obtain all what they have ever desired for.

High above, the dove of their love has soared to touch the most amazing levels of spirituality where their union was blessed by all the powers that exist in this life.  Then, and only then, heaven stopped weeping and a colorful rainbow crowned their love with the most amazing gift of all.  Eventually, the music changed to a more cheerful tune that can touch every heart and soul with the magical whisper of love.

Blessings

I was shifting in my bed when strands of thoughts attacked my conscious need to sleep trying to awake all my senses that would have rather shut down after the three longest hours of my life. I have experienced similar situations where the hours seemed to be days but still this time it was different in all means. Other times, I was always awed and attached to the thing that even movement seemed impossible to accomplish. I have always enjoyed part of that time even if it was for a couple of minutes and I sometimes even enjoyed being within that situation that I hoped it would never perish.

Being mesmerized in front of a television for hours might have always been able to bring my mind to fantasize about what I have been witnessing to the extent where my mind was afraid to drift away for even a second where I can end up missing part of what was going on. Movies have always played a role in building my imagination and taking control over part of my life that I have always tried to escape.

As for this time and this movie in particular, it was appalling and compelling in all means. My eyes kept stealing glances at the clock that seemed to move slowly in contradiction to what my mind was hoping for. At times, it unfortunately seemed to even stand still or move backwards. The sounds that my ears were trying to avoid were annoying in comparison to the serenity that surrounded the characters. The movements within its scenes were so crippling though hard to keep up with for a reason my words find hard to explain. It made no sense to me the dullness that kept me attentive for three long hours.

Suddenly, a sound was able to draw me back to the reality of this appreciated world from a haze I would never wish to go back to. I jumped to the chance that was given to me and tried to take my time in whatever I was asked to do, hoping that time would pass faster but unfortunately, every part of me felt obliged to go back and continue in trying to figure out what was special about this movie.

Two monotonous hours passed when suddenly I realized that this movie was trying to teach my mind something it could not comprehend. All what I was able to think of was the fact that I do still have another hour of whatever was going on with this movie. I only hoped that my coming hour would be able to compensate my past two hours with a better accomplishment at the end.

So tense and compact was the last hour. I have always worried about aging and how things will go about before time of death comes. I have always feared the feeling of time passing by until these three hours passed by. Watching the clock go backwards and feeling the misery of becoming younger rather than older has made me appreciate every minute of my time that is moving forward. I applaud the film, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” for all the time that I have thought I was wasting since it gave me the chance to appreciate the time left for me to enjoy the blessings of becoming older day after day. I am also thankful for opening my eyes to the realization of how fortunate we are since we will have the ability to see the fruits of our love and life grow eventually to cuddle us in a bundle of joy and love.
