As i sat there sipping a cup of hot coffee watching the rain pour and the wind blow adding to the rain's enchanting beauty my phone beeped out loud, disturbing the past nostalgic moments that were running across my head. For a second i was disturbed/disappointed with my phone which interrupted rudely and so fearlessly being impolitely loud into my past soothing memories. Apparently i stared at it in the effort of making it realize what a shameful act it had performed, as a result of which it dimmed its light. i accepted its apology and tried to think over what i had been so deeply and immaculately been thinking, but failed to return back to those irresistible memories.

Being absolutely let down with my attempt to enjoy the silence and the past events, i headed for the phone which was placed just behind my cup of coffee making it look like it was still in reminiscence of my memories. As i disturbed the ever lost lines running through the display of my phone it politely allowed me to access the message which was the root cause of all that took place.

Reading through it i could say this was something that was send by the company that owned the connection i possessed. It read - Do you want to know when and how you will die ? I smiled and for awhile frowned at the aggressive yet passive message and deleted in an attempt to finish it.

Returning back to those memories was not difficult after i satisfied myself finishing the message for once and for all, sipping the coffee back enjoying the aroma and feeling the taste of it burn my taste buds, my eyes filled with a tiny tear which was unable to flow out. Now my eyes were glittering with the memories and i was soon staring at the beauty of the thick green tree's ahead and how the nature impressed me. I fell back into the rocking chair with eyes set on the tree's, the sun so dim and hideous, the clouds so red , the darkness prevailing over as the chair rocked me obediently giving me the warmth in the cold evening. I soon fell asleep and my head felt good as i lay there dreaming.

I saw myself traveling through a foggy thick jungle, it was early morning and the sun was yet to come. There was no one around. For awhile i enjoyed the loneliness and the fresh smell of wet nature. Later, i felt awkwardly alone and wanted someone really close to me, to be around, someone who has cared for me, who loved me and was there by my side when i cried with pain and laughed with joy, someone who enjoyed my presence and absence equally, someone ...

I started to feel a pain in me arising like a incurable ailment trying to eat over me , my body shook with fear and i was smelling loneliness like the smell of rusty old furniture/books merged with the smell of the wet sand, the wet tree trunk. The leaves around me seemed to be enjoying each others company no one bothered/cared about me, i took a deep breath to let a tear roll down, as it rolled down my cheek i felt someone touch me from behind. At that moment the only thing i spoke in a whisper was ma , daddy .. ! I realized who that someone special was, there was not one but two my- god gifted parents. Someone was still shaking me in an attempt to wake me ! was there a third person ? Yes, she shook me so hard i realized who she was. It was my sister , she intrigued into my life and now she is one of the master piece after my parents. One of a kind she is. There are yet my friends, the love of my life who are part of my life but did not reveal up in this dream of mine.

The silence spoke the most precious gifts i hold. Am thankful to the gods powerful grace and his priceless gift which at present is my possession. Am darn rich !!! :D Love you daddy, mama and sis lol ! Peace !
