Nowhere

For the nth time, I was late again. I should feel lucky not to have been called on by the Admin to discuss suspension or worse, termination for being best in tardiness at work. Urgh! Blame it to PBB, I am getting used to being such an owl.LOL! Anyways, I still reported for work that day despite making it at around 8:10AM. We were to be in Barangay Hall of Oteiza at 9:00AM for BDP Critiquing. I chose it over that schedule at Buatong because I was pretty sure, they could manage even without me. I was not needed there (don’t get me the wrong way!:)So I went to the hall because I was expected to document the activity, take down minutes and everything for the rest of the day. The food was superb. I ate much but it was the main purpose of the activity that was luring me to drift off. It was boring. That’s it. So amidst their discussion, I was drifting. I had to catch up with my flowing thoughts before they would be gone in my head. My memory is “too short” and so I have to grab every chance I get. I focused hard in between their arguments over some particular profile data and when reality would bit me, I would then take down their remarks as to what needed to be changed in that BDP. Then after several minutes, I came up with this…:) been playing in my head while eating our lunch…

Into the darkness

Chased by the unknown

Chest heaving, gasping

Sweating profusely

Running for life

Then suddenly,

Lifted into the air

Soaring high, floating

Plotting for a ploy

Making decoys

Just to escape

But landed into a large vessel

Sailing across the ocean

This time,

Chased by the furious waves

Ready to devour

So sail, sail, sail…

Away from its wrath

But!

As if heard by an angel

Waves suddenly vanished into thin air

A handsome stranger came into sight

Swept me off my feet

Kissing me

A kiss so tender

Like a kiss of forever

But again!

Ended so abruptly

By a deafening shrill

Kkkkrrrrriiiiinnnnnngggggggg!!!!!

Oh!

It was all just a dream

So strange

And

So deceiving…

You do agree with me, don’t you? It’s not exactly one of my dreams. Or maybe it is. I just cannot recall I did dream that way. I’m referring to the sequencing. But one thing I have found out and maybe you share the same conclusion; dream is one of the most mysterious things ever happened to all of us, isn’t it? J Nothing and nobody can totally unravel its story behind the haunting each night, not even science.
