Dawn

Before the sunrise, at the time of the dawn. The sky was filled with white and grey clouds. The sun is yet to shine. It's bright light shines before it appears in the sky. It gives the space a combination of orange and blue colors. The wind was calm, carries with it the waves gently towards the shore. The sound of slow waves hitting breaking at the shore and the feeling of little breezes of wind on the skin gives a relaxing vibe.

There he was, standing barefoot on sand. Looking at the endless horizon in front of him. The void is filled with silence. But, two voices in his mind are not toning it down. Some thoughts of the past. Memories! Those of good and bad times. Moments of joy are re-lived. Others of sorrow are crossing by too. The two voices keep reflecting on his life so far. Some thoughts of future. Ideas, goals and dreams. All are coming at ones. Plans that he is unsure if he will pursue. Or, if it is going to be a successful journey. A journey of meaning. Finding it, or living it. It might not matter much. Would it?

Few moments of uncertainty. But, one thing that keeps coming back. A question. He is wondering, are these his thoughts? Is he really thinking right now. If he is, then it must be him that speaks. But, if that is true. Then, who is listening. Could it be the other way around? Is he listening. The same question, remains. It is only flipped this time. If he is listening. Then, who is speaking?

Time passes by quickly, it is almost time to leave. To get back home. He needs to get his things ready. As he is travelling tomorrow. It is his last few moments, before saying goodbye to his hometown. The place of his childhood. Maybe, saying goodbye to all those memories and probably, a part of him will be left behind on that shore.
