Distance. How many would have ever pondered on the power this word carries with itself while gripping them and dragging into a vicious circle of abashment..!
Realising its power tearing relationships, people and confidence apart, it pains how the world they build with soo much conviction, comes down with this one word. Distance. It clenches the treasured peace from their hearts and drags it into to the abyss of darkness leaving it nothing with to beat for. Punching a distance shaped hole in the universe. Their universe.
Being kids it didn't bother them much, all they knew was to be loved and render the same; totally unaware that all of it will fade in the midst of growing old. Aim, money, fame, prosperity, experiencing newness, adventure, emptiness makes them travel places, but the wants, do they ever end..?? Well answer to such a question is always clubbed with indifference. And in lieu of it they forget what's left eating the dust..
Behind is all the love, all the care, all the attention they long and deserve. They gave it up all, allowed it to be spooned away by the dusty winds of ego, needs. Somehow simple things are always overlooked. Small things are always said and the big, the important, the must always lay under the sheets and thus follows the pilling up of emotions, leading to all the hubbub. Away from the roots they start to find the solace, ignoring the one who is ready to give them, themselves to sooth the pain. Such clamour blinds them and left is, they shooting in black trying to get close to their real self. Real self, higher self, self, lost and lost is the hope to find love within and to be loved. And what good does this darkness and loss bring ?? They will say strength, I would say distance. And what use of such strength be if it isn't peaceful enough, where the only feeling now left is longing, longing to be embraced so that the intriguing pain is blown by the winds of change.
So break loose. Shed the blinds. Open yourself to the light around. Clasp it soo tight as it is the last drop of water for a deserted plant. Be a child again and get along with simple things of life. Above the material needs is love which is in the power of your own self and is dying to find an escape from the clutches of that thing called distance. So wherever you are make an effort towards your own self and take a step towards those, who make your heart sing. They won't be hesitant to make hundred such towards you, to help you get to your solace..!!
Distance is sheer word, we give it the power it has with ours wants and ego. Don't let it win over you..!!
