The True Companion

He was walking a dark and an endless road. He looked around, and saw people walking like him too. Like zombies, lifeless, numb and in their own worlds, they all walked. Everyone saw a distant light. A little flash everyone was constantly walking towards. Some called it happiness, some satisfaction, some called it peace. They all were heading towards their own individual light.

He saw many , who found their light. Bringing smiles to their lifeless faces. But his light always seemed far. He had no choice. He had to walk, looking at the light, which kept moving away from him.

At a certain point of time, all of them found the lights they were looking for. He was left , all alone making his way through that dark road. He consoled himself, shed some tears to heal the pain. The light was now appearing nearer. He started thinking about finding his own light, experiencing its very first ray. As it would enlighten his heart and ultimately his soul...

Then finally the time came. When his light was before him. Looking straight ahead, he saw the light exploring the endless road in front of him. He closed his eyes, the days of darkness and misery flashed before him. They'd surely taught him something. Those days had now become a part of him.

He turned his back towards the light and started walking the endless dark road again..

The darkness. Its the best companion one can have. It hides the world around you. It makes you feel that you're all alone. We actually are. All of us.

PS- Its even more fun, if you've got someone to hold onto while you make your way through the darkness. =D
