Restlessness.

I can see myself floating

floating amidst mountains

over valleys, seas, and lands

and there I see, a beautiful cottage

in a picturesque location

with lush green fields

a brook running on the side

and flowers of every kind

blooming in its full glory

I am struck by its sheer beauty

And make my way towards it

I try and try

but the journey never seems to end

The cottage is still there,

taunting me with its presence

reminding me of my failure

and no matter how far I go

no matter how fast I run

I am stuck here, stuck in this void

drifting into nothingness

without any purpose

and that is what makes it so terrifying

the purposelessness

the fear, that I won’t make it there

I still see it, the cottage

And I try again

with a new found determination

and the journey continues.
