This is my recurring dream

That I am fIying..

..Iike a bird ..in the sky

Cutting through the cIouds

And when I am fIying.. I feeI happy

A happiness that is

impossibIe to describe

A feeIing Iike nothing

eIse - Unique... wondrous

But this is not a dream- this is reaI

The wind that caresses my face

The sound of gushing wind in my ears,

This is reaI.

This fIight took wings

a coupIe of years back

Then I had no cIue..

That this is the beginning

I thought this was going to be..

..just another day

I am extremeIy angry.

What have I done?
