The Coming

I'm waiting at a park.
Its right across the next stage of life, that is the last phase of high school.

I'm having a blast trying to reach the skies with the help of an amazing invention: swings.
I touch the ground and realize the seriousness and do a bit of work but feeling the heaviness, I kick and fly off into the sky. My body mid-air, enjoying the freshness of the wind.

When I notice from the park a few friends exiting the park; a few friends entering the place opposite from the park. Did they not like it here? Aren't these swings simply amazing? Are there more amusing things in the place opposite the park?

I notice a few friends at the gate of the place opposite the park, they weren't entering as they didn't have the look of doubt over their face rather they were anxious and happy, they seemed to be exiting the place. From their aura I could see they were glad, happy, anxious, sad & ready to find their own individual ways.

I reach the ground softly with a thud.
Forgetting the momentum I was using to fling my body in to the sky.
And started to think.....
Its unbelievable that so many people are moving in and out of phases.
Who created these phases?
Its unbelievable that some people don't get a chance to experience these phases.
Is it a blessing upon them? Or rather a misfortune due to even harsher realities they get to experience instead?

I wanted to go back into the sky and swing myself back and forth just above the ground but to never let my feet feel it EVER.
I realized I couldn't do that. And my body had overgrown the swing. My mind had left the park and was itching to move my body out of the park.

And so I got up.
Felt the grass poke my bare feet. The swing being a dream of yesterday. The place opposite the park being a reality of tomorrow.

My friends being the anchors rooted next to me, ready to enter the next stage of life, the last phase of high school, the next rollercoaster ride that may be our last together.
The thought makes me want to grab onto the swing and never let go.

I do know one thing and that is there is still time till we cross the road between the park and that place.
Time, which I am going to use wisely to have a blast! Before entering the place many have been and exited and continue to do so.

Just another journey to add to my list of places I've ever been to.
