Another Composition
-
by Charles IV
I had been searching for that particular state of mind for long and then when I was crossing a street on the way from supermarket it emerged, a feeling of stability and strength combined, it was close to hearing a melody leading to the lowest octave and disappearing confidently with each oscillation into silence, an orchestra playing together a masterpiece ending with the destiny common for all.
And I danced to it as if every walk side was mine; and every street and every square and every pub was part of it. It was my stability and strength combined and maybe the tip of her fingers touching my hand when we were twisting around.
We were looking into one another's eyes and talked and talked. I pretended not really being fond of long talks - because I am a big man and I don't talk - but I was, and I wanted her to talk more and have her attention for ever.
And it played beautiful just as it played a decade ago, resonating through the air, and walls going even beyond the concrete tingling the bells and the leaves of trees.
It took only a decade to get to cross the street on that day. And the journey cost me multiple heart breaks, it lured me in multiple fights, it kept me in extreme solitude and made me doubt myself.
And you stand aside, eyes opened, jaw dropped stunned by what you were seeing. You didn't know anything about my journey because you had just seen me crossing; a man with a big smile, and you had heard others saying that I was a mad man. And they were right, I was as mad as a hatter. But you loved the show until it reached the silence. [1].
