THOUGHTS

A Vision~A Dream

I was lying in bed one night when I thought of something. A dream amidst the darkness of my room. A sudden feeling of warmth in the bitter coldness of the night. A vision of what I perceive to see. A vivid memory of what I wanted to have.

Amidst the dark and the gnawing cold. I had this vision, of me standing there in the middle of the road as free as I can be. I dreamt of this every night when I fall asleep and even though dreams are but a distant memory in reality, I can still remember it clearly.

I envisioned myself in a car, with blankets and pillows. With food and drinks, with everything that I wish for. I am traveling, to a free road. Enjoying the beauty of nature, and of everything around me. Nothing but myself and the cool breeze of air. The wind sweeping my hair and bringing a smile to my face. Relaxation. Contentment. Peace.

And as night begins to peak through and the sun begins to sink and disappear through the horizon. I stopped. In the middle of the road. There were no cars in this part of the country. Only trees and lamp posts giving dim lighting on the road. I stayed there. In the middle of the road. Laid down my blankets and pillows at the back of the truck. Sat and stared at the sky. It was peaceful. There are no other cars around me and even though I'm surrounded by the wilderness, I felt safe. I felt comfort. I felt at peace. The kind of peace I never had.

And it has been a while since I have dreamt of this, but I'm still stuck here—With a vision, with a dream that serves as a warm embrace to the cold night. A dream that lights up the darkness in my mind.

Because I am here in my room amidst the dark and the cold. Dreaming–still. Wanting–still. To be free
