It was only the beginning of the winter but it was very cold. The yellow leaves from the trees spread golden carpets on the ground which stretched miles and looked endless! Trees pointed their leafless branches towards the gloomy skies like the weapons of the prehistoric warriors!
I sat there alone in the chilling cold.
Then, I saw him coming from the far ! He was like a dot to begin with but gradually grew bigger and bigger. He carried a bag made of cloth on his shoulder. It had a very strange design.
He reached in front of me and stood there! He did not bother to look at me at all!
I was very impatient to know what he was carrying inside that bag. I did not say a word.
He pulled out a small box from his bag. It had the colour of blood and had beautiful carvings on it. They may be carved by someone from another world, I am sure!
My heart filled with joy! I do not have words to explain it!
When he opened that box, a sharp light came out of it! It lightened the whole area..! Then the light spread up in the sky and the sky looked very bright! And then it slowly travelled towards the horizons and it stayed there for the rest of the time!
Soon after, a band of musicians came out of the box! They had the uniforms like that of an army! They looked very attractive and they had gold and silver linings all over. They carried strange musical instruments which I can't name simply because I have never seen any of them in my life! Among them, there were people playing huge drums and they marched like an army battalion! Their leader was a young man who had a sharp and pointed nose. He lead them from the front. He carried a strange instrument which looked like a rod, but had rounded ends on both sides! The band followed him like the obedient soldiers.
They slowly started singing. It began with a small pitch and slowly, slowly reached it's climax. I was taken into an unexplainable mental state! The music was heavenly and my soul became completely immersed in it!! The earth came into a standstill as nothing moved and the time was paused! I do not know how long they were there or how long they played that music!
I might have slept or lost my consciousness at some point! But I am very sure that anyone will long for that music to be played again if they had the fortune to hear it once in their whole life time!
This happened to me a few years ago. Nobody believed my story, not even my wife! They all considered this as another stupid thought which I have made up in my life! There is a little bit truth in it, I should also admit! But I swear, this not one of those things! This is something I have seen with my own eyes and that music is still in my ears!
I have gone to the same place to see him again! But he never came!
I still believe that he will come one day.
I am waiting for him!
Nice one. May be he will come when you really need him.
