Déjà Vu

[Inspired from the 'drum and bass' jam performed by Raef and Labib]

I pulled in a long breath to go, that one extra mile and catch the glimpse of the rays of the light that were projecting upwards to the sky as the orange sun immersed into the unknown. With that long breath I visualised my dive that I’d attempted several times. Below me was the vast open crystal clear turquoise lake that reflected the supernova the light rays were casting on the clouds.

Each evening was a reflection of the haze that I woke up with each morning and each dive rippled an unknown supernova within me. To have labelled it adrenaline is of course an understatement but the feeling of gliding miles up from the surface of the ground, listening to an unknown sound and seeing that diamond-ring like glaze in the curved horizon sure did absorbed me. Where, I still do not know but it does I knew!

The long breath followed the gradual opening of heart as does the petals of flowers each morning towards the sun. I lifted my claws a little and took one last glance of the earth below…Mother. I twitched my shoulders a little and roared like a thousand lions before I looked upwards to the ever silent sky…Father. I felt the wind that travelled in my heart…Love. My muscles twitched as I forced my wings to obey me. The extra mile had been won and I prepared myself for the dive.

I brought the upward race to gradually rest as I used the thermals to glide…it was perfect. One more time curiosity made me scan my immediate surroundings. I shrugged a little and brushed my cheek against my right shoulder. Then, there, the haze made a comeback. It divided me like it divides the day and the night and that’s when I knew it was time to make that dive like does the sun each evening into that stretch beyond the horizon.

Who am ‘I’?
