Conundrum

There is a sadness; pervading, enveloping every inch of space. 
It is dark, thick and consuming.
It has covered morning with a melancholy.
There is sadness.

There is happiness; pervading, enveloping every inch of space.
It is bright, light and embalming.
It has covered the morning with sunshine.
There is happiness.

There are two filters that glide through all our lives; at least as I how I see them. One day might be sad but then sooner or later it gives in and there is liveliness and enthusiasm and smiles. However off late I have come to question if we are inherently a happy or a sad person. As individuals do we lack the capacity to appreciate life or do we have nothing real, tangible or worthy of loving and living for?

Each day is sad, each morning is sad, each happy moment is sad and each sad moment is sad. Could this be true? If true, I have been living in a reverie. Everyone has had days where we question ourselves, our believes, our decisions and our relations. Despite that we find reasons to live and live happy. Or am I too optimistic? Cos trust me, I have had days where I lost faith in most intrinsic of beliefs and the closest of people.

Still, its a simple life. I do not understand the extravagant stands and sadness. Find your person, your joy, your interests and live in them and for them. 

P.S. More of a rant than a piece.

Rendezvous

It was dark, dawn had not set in.
The darkness outside echoed her thoughts.
She packed her bags, caught her cab.
The car raced towards the airport and her heart raced faster.

She was waiting for boarding her flight with anticipation locking her heart.
She picked her phone and dialed his number.
His voice calmed her and the anxiety demons were swept away.

When she opened her eyes her flight had landed.
She picked her phone to see his missed calls.
Her heart raced at lightning speed now. He was the man she loved.
Love had blossomed for them in the most unforeseen, unexpected of ways.
One fine day after a decade of knowing and yet not knowing they started talking.
And then two months later she was here, in love and waiting to see her lover for the first time.

She pulled her suitcase and walked outside.
Her eyes searching for him, scouring for her lover.
And then they saw each other.
Their bodies warm with each other's embrace.
Their racing hearts calming each other down.
And their eyes welled with unbridled happiness.

She knew she had found her companion.
She knew there was love.
She knew there was him. Real and all hers.
