Autumn day
I walked out the door, shut it, put my key in and locked it. As I started to walk down the street and over the small bridge, that goes over a road, I felt a emptiness. I could hear car-tires screech, and hear the rumble of the city. There was no colour and no life, everything was sterile and grey. I could hear my lungs screaming for air, I was choking.
I reached into my bag and pulled out my cd-player and headphones. I carefully put them on and pressed play.
Suddenly I could feel my feet moving again, my lungs taking in a deep breath. My eyes opening, showing me a different view. I fastened my pace and before I could realise it, I was taken by the state I was in. I came to a halt. I had by now walked so far that I had reached a small forest, or maybe it was merely a park, but it felt like a forest, a unexplored such. I could see the wind playing with the leaves as they danced in the air, on their way to the ground. Usually people say that leaves are dead when they fall, but that couldn´t be true. They sang with the wind as they sailed through the air. So full of life, with vivid colours. I had seized to hear the music from the cd, maybe it had stopped. Now I just heard the magical music which these leaves and the wonderful colours played.
All the grey colours had vanished and been replaced with wonderful, warm things. Everything had a colour of it´s own and they all played a tune of their own. I could hear music so beautiful that I didn´t even know words good enough to describe it.
As I, after a while started to reach the end of the forest I once again came to a halt. I stopped thinking it had started to rain, but it was just a tear that had fallen down my cheek. As I came out of the forest and back into the city again I took my headphones off and it suddenly struck me. It was my soul that had made the beautiful music, it had spoken to the nature in a language for us unknown. It felt like I had experienced something magical.
God I loved these autumn days.
