The warm sunlight streams into the tiny room, casting both
light and shadow. The lazy curtains sway with the only trace of heat in the
air. The surrounding air is warm, yet carries a sense of drowsiness that
makes one feel sleepy.
Lying in bed, the constant hum of the electric fan buzzes in the ear, and
the eyes keep closing and opening slowly, wanting to wake up and see the
world clearly. But the feeling of sleepiness is too strong, and the eyes
quietly close, the hands curled up beside the body, the head resting on the
soft pillow, exhaling a heavy breath, and falling asleep intermittently.
Dreams of many scenes, with men, women, children, and strangers. The
familiar silhouette is seen in the distance, hesitating and wandering,
surrounded by a bustling crowd. Only that silhouette stands out, as a person
in a world of chaos. Around your body, people wear white masks, laughing,
boiling, screaming, mocking, while you stand there confused, looking ahead
with blank eyes, enduring the fear of loneliness. Actually, you are not
afraid of loneliness, but you are afraid of their creepy laughter and
twisted faces behind the masks, using the noise to cover up their
indifference. You can only watch alone. Thunder roars, and all these scenes
disappear. You continue to see the feeling of relaxation.
You lie alone in the soft field, with beautiful mountains, clear lakes,
crisp chirping, and soft sunset, and your face is also covered with a hint
of blush, glowing with a soft light. You lie quietly until the night
sprinkles brilliant starlight, isolated from the world, peaceful and quiet.
The dream ends, and we are all pushed by time to this noisy world. We know
that we cannot stop loneliness, separation, and sadness, but we still yearn
to face such a life. I read the purest optimism from the tone of pessimism.
Sadness gives us courage, memories give us hope, growth gives us wisdom, and
in the end, we may only have a calm and indifferent state of mind. Just like
a calm beach, it makes people forget that it has experienced a tsunami. |
