dolorous interludes.

I saw the most beautiful thing today.

Two men were pushing a huge green trash bin up onto the pavement; they were having fun doing this- smiles, laughter and innocent joy filled the air as the winds seemingly lifted the heavy bin up the curb. The people who are free from the cares of the ongoing rat race eventually are the ones who really live. The darkened skies brought them no melancholia; instead, they pushed on, running and laughing, in hope of a nearest shelter. They did reach one. As i closed my gates, which appeared to divide our lives, one of them looked at me, and smiled.

They saw that i was watching them; but no i wasn't doing so in disdain, i wished for a second just to share their laughter and smiles. i smiled and turned around. i returned home, to find myself alone, again.
