And I failed again! This time the remorse is deep-rooted yet looks manageable.
I have tasted the dust earlier and this time my lips are already scratched by
the uprooted yellow grass. The cricket chirping near my nose seems amused by my
condition and seems to be relishing my ill-fate. My eyelids are covered with
minute particles of dust and these particles are itching the cornea of my eyes.
I tried to open my left eye which is opposite to the ground but I see a group
of people laughing while watching me grounded. I immediately closed it to save
myself from this embarrassment. I tried using my left ear to hear at least one
familiar voice, while keeping my eyes closed. To my dismay, there is none at
this moment. Suddenly a voice crossed my ear and it seems familiar. A ray of hope
emerged to find support in this semi-arid place with scorching sun burning my
body and the dust covering every bit of my skin including my eyelids and hair.
The voice said, “it is his destiny”. The concealed emotional bubble
suddenly busted and the liquid filled and trapped inside the bubble finally escaped
and dispersed out of my both eyes, nose and the mouth. I felt marshy near my
face but simultaneously the dirt around my eyes, nose and lips washed away,
clearing the panorama of life for me.
