3 short prose meditations

What can happen in few seconds.

I stand, still breathing, but internally torn. My hands are shivering and my vision is getting blurred. The world is spinning around me, and I am still standing in this same place. My soul is bleeding, my eyes are so numb to close, and my body is so fragile to carry itself. Instead of keep walking I am stuck, digging a hole under me. Seconds turned to hours. Guilt dragged me down this rotten hole. Am falling, I try to catch up my breath but I can’t. Its like am miles under water and helplessly fighting to reach the top and breathe. I feel heat surrounding me, its getting more intense. Is it fire? I can’t tell because all I see is smoke covering the place. My tears found their common way down my cheeks. The house is burning up .yellow flames swallowing up everything around. I find my self trapped in my room. I have few seconds to say my prayers.
These few seconds passed, I opened my eyes and realized the reality around me. I was lying on the floor, feeling the peoples’ tension outside and hearing their whispers. The door opened, someone came to save me, and there I was relieved.
 
 
Expect it when you least expect it.
 
I stand, still waiting for him to approach me. I am craving for a look from his eyes or a smile from his lips. My heart starts beating faster. I am mentally frozen and emotionally melted. The moment I saw him, I closed my eyes with sigh and memories dragged down like a water fall. It is as if yesterday we were together.
I suddenly felt a heavy block on my heart, as if it was squeezed and there is no air getting in. I kept walking until I was outside. I took a deep breath, and trapped my tears inside .I looked at the sky, it was black with the moon so bright and the stars perfectly scattered. I felt someone coming. I wanted to turn around but I was absorbed in this view. This person is getting closer and closer,he then huged me like a baby hugs his teddy bear. I smelled his perfume. It was him! Neither time nor distance can separate two lovers.
 
 
 
Behind the view.

I stand, still gazing with a lively imagination.
How can it hang up there? It is bright and shiny; ironically it will be irritating to look at more than few seconds. The sun encloses all planets, starting from earth, and imposes its absolute power egoistically. I wish I had such power, that endless power. Humans seem powerful yet they are the weakest creatures ever. They try to fight and rebel; however they end up dead, with their corpse under the sand, disgracefully eaten by bugs and insects. How creepy is this world!
I sit on this rock, looking at the sea and watching the sunset. Even though the sun is so powerful, it timidly leaves the sky for the moon to shine. Thoughts come to my mind. For instance, why are humans so greedy and selfish? They want everything for themselves. They are happy, they want to be happier. They are rich, they want more money. And if they have the chance to live more than one life, they would aim for that too. You barely see a satisfied person. However, if we see it from another corner, this may be a push for our ambitions and motivations.
