A Place In My Heart

by Nawa   Feb 26, 2008


I used lie under a tree near a river and listen to the birds and watch the deer drinking water from the river
I used to sit there and stare at the beauty of the sky
I used to sleep there for hours dreaming of amazing places
And one day I couldn't go there something stopped me
But after I while I sensed something telling me to run there
And so I ran and ran and never reached the place I used to spend my life there
That place which made me feels safe and knows peace and calmness and quietness was never there
I stood near the river and looked around for the tree I used to sit under but there was nothing left of it except a leaf
I asked the river what happened where the fish and deer and white blue sky are
What happened to the tree and the place of peace?
I looked at the river's surface to see myself but I saw I half missing
And suddenly an old woman appeared and told me that what I am looking for has been destroyed by a war of angriness and madness it was destroyed by inhumanly people
And my missing half is my heart because my heart used to carry this place and keep it in my mind
But know after the place was gone my mind can't keep a picture of it but she said search for your heart I am sure you will find it there
Because your heart carries all what you love.
So after the women left I carried the leaf that was left from the tree and placed it on my heart and then all the memories of the place came back to me again.
