Far, far away

Far, far away

My eyes scan the white broad-lined paper filled with my ever changeable style of handwriting in blue ink. A mixture of alphabets strung together to form words which fill page after page with endless script. Words, some round and some thin, some small and some cursive, all penned by my hand. The shape and form of it changing with every flip of the page. At other times, my mind would have absorbed every one of them like a sponge soaking up water but today, these words are like Greek to me, simply incomprehensible. My eyes simply glance at the words, but they don't register in my mind. Today, I'm merely looking, not really seeing. And I know the reason why. My eyes are here, but my mind and heart are somewhere else.

They're lost in a place far, far away. Running through grassy meadows with daisies and bluebells that carpet the ground. Swinging back and forth up high with my feet off the ground and the scent of freshly cut grass tickling my nose. Sitting in the shade of the weeping willows by the river lost in a reverie as I let my feet dangle and dip into the cool refreshing water. Picking blueberries under the sunshiney skies on a farm. Taking in the sight of fields and fields of tulips blooming in various colours with windmills in the distance. Walking down a cobblestoned lane with quaint little shops overflowing with curios. Standing on a breezy cliff watching the waves pound the rocks and screaming my lungs out to my heart's content. Gently rocking in a cushioned rocking chair as I succumb to the tempting smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies that waft pass and take one right off the cooling tray. Walking through greenhouses in summertime where every imaginable blossom blooms in beautiful colours with velvety soft petals.

Oh, how I long for all this and for much much more!

Have you ever wanted something so badly and knowing that it was out of your reach, your mind and soul ached and throbbed with the sadness of the futility of trying?

Maybe, just maybe, I'm one step closer to all of this than I thought I'd be. =)
