A dirge....
A dirge…
A narrative symphony caught her off guard and left her
in silence as a song played slowly in her midst. Secrets buried from all over
the world now uncovered by the wind, transformed into songs that revealed
secrets of men and women, telling stories of their success in its truest colors
and it was no rainbow. The wind transformed slowly and majestically, until it
took a form, then it began to dance.
The wind splashed out all around, revealing shades
grey, black and white as plain as it could be, enough to portray the true
nature of man. Its dance growing wild to match the secrets untold, the truth
hidden and twisted, tales of great people but who were the true villains of the
past. But made heroes out of false stories.
There was no telling of what the presence of the wind
meant, or what was behind the spirit of the wind. But she was unbothered by
those questions and watched silently as the wind danced to portray the songs it
played. Her mind was clustered but at ease, the melody of the songs sweet and
serene caressed her gently as the songs of the wind bewitched her to want more.
Words and pictures alike moved in magical motion, till
history caught up and the wind ceased into a gentle whisper. The sweet melody
of a billion secrets now steaming and buzzing in her mind. Until the intrusion
of a sudden realization, swept the sweet sensation all away.
Her history was no seen nor was it heard in the songs
of secrets. Her mind now troubled had questions that burdened her greatly and
needed to be answered. As the wind blew gently, singing in a soothing cool
breeze, beautiful but in a whisper. She sang a song addressing the spirit
behind the wind, pleading, flattering and dancing, trying to appease the
spirit. But there was answer.
She forged on insisting in utter persistence, as her
soul became more prejudiced by the presence of the ghostly wind. Then a climax
crept in her very being, as she questioned her own existence. Her questions
still ignored, leaving her to a resolute opinion that her made her criticize
the existence of the wind.
Slowly the composed whisper of the wind ceased and it
was gone, leaving her in silence. Abandoned and left to the only company of her
troubled mind.
She fell on her knees in frustration and screamed to
nothing but herself. Left with nothing but an empty expanse of land, her
outburst was followed up swiftly by tears, but not out of sorrow, but of anger.
The wind returned later in a silent lazy dance,
blowing and whistling, then began to circulate her into a tornado. It rose her
gently from the ground, and began to play a harmony piercing to the heart,
turning her anger into sadness. Her tears hot with anger, transformed into
blue, cold with sorrow and grief. But still there was connection to her past.
She slowly opened her eyes and watched as the wind
danced with her in it grasp turning and twisting gently as it played out a part
of history. Not the past, present or the future, but her self and the wind “dancing
to a dirge.”
