Sound

Time is like sound, missed most when its not there anymore

Be good M.

I was traveling at the speed of sound, not knowing where I was going but rushing through life like there was a fire behind me. Wandering aimlessly, not exactly looking where I was going until I crashed into something, I remember the sound, the sound of a “wake up call”, the sound of a heart breaking into little pieces! Then came the excruciating pain and the disaster that follows after a serious crash.
Is this where I am supposed to be at this exact moment? I can’t help but think that I needed something to open my eyes and force me to slow down, it was a downhill race at a very high speed, death defying stunts included of course. I must say the crash could have been worse, but did it have to happen at this exact moment?.
There are all kinds of things going on around me and I am consumed by the things I see and what I feel inside. I do not want to open my eyes to see what the damage is because I know once I see, I will not be able to look away. I have to concentrate on getting up and on finding out exactly where I am. Am I lost? The panic starts to come slowly but surely, what did I crash into? Am I alone? Are there any survivors? AM I DEAD? Oh, my God! Now this is the panic that shatters everything, I cannot stand, I cannot breath, I cannot feel myself, am I even there???
This thing, whatever it is, is all consuming and I am in this other world by myself it seems and whatever it is I crashed into. Could I have been traveling in my mind and not literally as I thought or was I in a train that crashed? I remember seeing everything going by, really, really fast…
I now hear the echo from a distance and I don’t know if I should hide or wait and find out what is coming towards me, on the other hand it could be the effects of the aftershock.
I hear the resonating sound get closer and louder, and then my eyes open and I am exactly where I want to be, unharmed and smiling 
The human heart and mind can sometimes be fickle, the emotions attached unreliable but it sure beats logic that they are the strongest things sometimes!…
