Ephemeral ....

His mind wandered a little looking at the megalomaniac moon. Transient in the dark, existing and living only for night; dying every time for a new day and yet so adamant to show up every time the sun shied away. The clouds were fleeting by in the moonlit night, distance covered and yet miles left. No one knew where they were heading for. Perhaps they themselves also did not know; for had they thought of the journey, it would have been wasted for its purpose.

Silence of his self was only broken by the distant honking of the cars on the road. The mind is funny …. yes it is so funny he thought, always at wars with everything that is illogical, a realm that is so different and distinct but the grey cells would simply not listen or even wish to listen and beaten …… beaten badly and brutally …. almost always by feelings ….. feelings that are so ephemeral.

Peace of mind is all that Raks was looking for. Peace that he realised was so ephemeral.

We live in a chaotic world. One that unless we offer a hand will not give us peace. In you words one needs rest. A haven to lay down and find a moment in which nothing but the heart exists.

I liked this.

yes fleeting is that elusive thing called Peace and everything else is but a dream within a dream(as EA Poe wrote).

Peace of mind exists even if you drift yourself away from many things.

Mind is constantly active and never rest. Even in sleep we dream and it can be enjoyable ot stressful.

If we are able to balance mind and body, we can figure our path.
