Waking up early again, and I wonder, is this the condition of the
old? Or is this just a new pattern? How strange is to adjust to my own body,
changes happen and I discover things that I never thought would be part of my
life. Because even when we see the process in others, it never seems something
that may happen to you.
So I wake up early, I walk down the stairs and look for something
to do that may be productive. Many times this attempts take me to just wonder
the web, and I get lost in a world of images and strange news.
Comments and stories that many times seem just not real.
I get up again and try my best to walk without making any sounds,
floating slowly from room to room. This house is finally mine, it has great
memories to attach to it.
I see my hands, my older looking hands, I look at my feet, my very
similar feet to those of my mother. I know I have chosen finally my path.
I stumble into this song about gravity...have you ever hear this
song, I wonder, would you like it just like I do?. And I know you have not, but yet I don’t really know you.
Nobody really knows anybody, or at least that is what my daughter once told me.
And maybe she is right.
I don’t want to wake up anybody. Both of my girls are back at
home. That is a feeling that I cannot really explain. I am so full of relieve
to know they are safely sleeping at their beds.
Children simply grow up too fast and I do not know why is that I
need to hold on to them, why do I want them to be near me? Why can’t I just be
happy they both have grown and want to go far away?
It is the way is supposed to be, the law of life. You stay at the
nest till your wings won’t stop flapping to make you reach high and be set
free.
I decide to lay in the couch at the living room, and since it is night
time, I close my eyes hoping for the sleepiness to come get me. But the
insomnia that afflicts me won’t let the brain stop thinking, doing twirling
spins about everything. The song comes back….
Gravity
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall
another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
Set me free, leave me
be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're…
….
Why is that songs sad like this one always seem to trap me? I once
was told that I pretended sadness. May be that is just the condition of the
women, or may be is just that we really never know how to be happy with what we
have.
I do not want other life but this one that I chose, I am happy to
have my girls here, near me, even if it is just for a little while, and I definitely
do not want to be set free, because without the pain, the sorrow, the love, we
are nothing.
Slowly my eyes actually close and I stop thinking, or maybe I stop
fighting the thoughts, I just become part of that in dreams that I may not
recall next day.
