Me & the Fool.

Today, I saw a fool. He was running after me.
The more I ran from it, the more it ran after me.
I ran and hid behind the tree, and there, I found him standing right behind me.
I walked slowly, whistling in the park, and then as he slowed down, I ran away.
I ran and ran, never looking back.
I ran to my favorite swing.
I ran to my favorite toy.
I ran to my best friend.
I just kept running. For I was annoyed. And scared. I didn't want to face the fool.
Whole day, from early morning to bright afternoon.
I did nothing but run. I ran from the fool.
I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.
I wished and hoped and prayed that I'd wake up to no fool around me.
But he, he was always there.
The summer heat wave was making it worse.
I was tired. Exhausted.
So I looked up. Squinted my eyes, trying to look into the Sun.
And just when the Sun was getting at the peak, the fool began disappearing.
The more the Light, the shorter the fool became.
Slowly and gradually, it dissolved into me.
The fool - I, disappeared. While here stood nothing but Me.
Inhaling deeply the indescribable power of Around.
The flowers seemed pretty. The smell of Grass. The feel of wood. The wonder of rain. The beauty of birds. The laughter, the joy, the cries, the sadness, everything just seemed so Beautiful. So now. So Me.
In the Now, In the Present, there is nothing but Me and Present. No fool. Nothing to run after, nothing to run for.
Pure Joy, Pure Peace, Pure Love.
