My Season - The Beginning

I have put in my wired earphones. Listening to "I'm with you" with half an ear, I can still feel the pain in her voice in the song since I have heard it infinite times. Riding slowly my Classic 350 through a dark road densely surrounded with trees, I see a man heating peanuts by the roadside. It's common to see peasants selling heated peanuts in small shops by roadsides in winter. The man is tossing peanuts under an LED bulb that is powered by a small battery. The smell of burning coals and the shells of peanuts is gratifying. I feel like stopping by and savoring the moment. The weather is changing. Now, I feel the cold evening wind piercing through my polo t-shirts. Unlike in summer, it's peaceful. Crickets are gone and frogs as well. When the world is at peace; we can hear what our soul is saying. In this calmness, I find a way to escape uncertain reality. Well, the song ends, and I kickstart my motorbike. I have to go home now.

My Season

Walking down a narrow path covered with fallen leaves, I find calmness that I have been yearning for so long. A foggy dense thicket surrounds the wet path. I see trees that I have known since my first heartbreak. Now, they are no longer green; their leaves are turning red, orange and brown like a setting sun dispersing the hues of red. Evenings are getting colder, and days are getting shorter. As I walk towards my destination - an abandoned cabin in the woods, I can feel the temperature dipping gradually. Thus, my body shivers a little as the cold autumn wind goes by. I put in my wired earphones and play Somewhere Only We Know. I feel like diffusing in the air whispering in my ear to slow down my agitated life at this moment. This is my season, and it tells me to hibernate in the cave where, once, I burnt some memories to keep myself warm. *** If you like the way I write, you may want to try my books. Heads Up!
