Game

She stood there feeling the raindrops
loving the winds which embraced her gently,
Indecipherable emotions dancing in her eyes
the world long forgotten ,while listening to the birds who sang sweetly.


she closed her eyes forgetting completely about the place where she was born
reaching to a place where she loved to venture as it offered her solace ,
a place which belonged to her since the day she grew up to realise life
a place where she felt safe, unwilling to live it's embrace.


she wished for the millionth time to grow up again
missing the naive self that she was as a child,
finding happiness in everything and anything
and getting scolded when she became a little naughty and wild.


she knew she had no choice but to accept her reality
and no matter how much she wished things would never be the same ,
sure ,it took time but she learnt to handle things
she was finally learning how to play this game.

Powerful one, Heith.
I like the way expressed it.
Sometime we get lost in the imagination and ever forget the reality around us. It could be so conducing that we would never want to come back but there stand the realities waiting and ready to be faced.

Thank God she's getting to know about this, that life is a game of principles, Learners always have the chance of knowing how to play it better.

this is quite good. we can't go back again. we must accept our reality and make the best of it. holding onto the wide-eyed innocence of youth is winning the game. i like how the beginning is serene and then some uneasiness is introduced. too bad we have to grow up. difficult game to win ... :)
