Goodbye silent echoes

Steps on the cold concrete, echoing between the tall buildings of the city. Steps that twirl the dust on the long pavements. He used to walk like that all the time, alone through empty places. His days where full of gloomy rain, and when the rain would stop, there'd be no sunshine. Black clouds covered the sky and a thick white fog would not let him see further. "Smile" was but a word, and he had no idea what it means.

Now, now there's rays of sunshine touching his skin. A warm feeling he is not used to; it confuses him. He wants to run, he wants the light to go away. We often find it uncomfortable, the happiness; when we've been deprived of it for a long time, it bothers us. He starts to run, trying to get back into the fog. But as he runs, he bumps into someone. Out of a sudden the silhouettes are being brought to life; like the waves of the ocean, getting out through the mist. Each wave is bigger, more clear. Eventually the water becomes a clear turquoise, and he can hear the waves. 

Enough empty streets, goodbye silent echoes. He can hear the noise now, he can feel the warmth. There's a whole new scene, and more than one actor. It's Spring, with it's bright colors and beautiful sounds. It seems he'll be alright with this. Time to explore the new.

Love,

Just.
