On top of the world

I am on top the world. Swimming in the boundless ocean of time, dissolving in the bliss of my being. I can taste the sweet nectar of life on my lips, as if I knew beforehand, what my destiny has chosen for me. As if during these twenty years, I’ve been saving up my strength, getting ready for the biggest start of my life.

I can see my reflection in the scattered circles of history, the same history which has covered my short fleeting sojourn on this sinful earth with its homely but sweeping lines. I am wearing the most beautiful, dazzling, spring blue cornflower dress and running, running, running barefooted in the eternal, never ending carnival of life, this cheerful and idle masquerade where the whirligig of time carries you through a hazy tunnel of short flashes of serenity and long expectations, celebrations of love and separation.

I am twisting in my hands a fragile glass of life with a sparkling wine inside – the crimson colored blood throbbing through my veins, reverberating with continuous strokes in my temples, wrists, chest, plaiting into the intricate tracery and secret labyrinths of an unfading soul.

I am floating on the waves of my obstinate fate letting flow through my fingers a bitter injustice mixed with the sweet venom of random meetings, devastation, lost feelings, future affections, shed tears and moments of reverential happiness.

I am a tiny grain of sand of the enormous Kitchen of the Universe and I don’t know all of the magical recipes of the skillful Chief Cook, who is ritually slicing human fates one by one flavoring them with salt and honey. His Kitchen resembles a Noah’s Ark full of earthquakes, tsunamis, autumn rains, early dews, the Babel Pandemonium of birthdays, funerals, weddings, dates, tiffs and conciliation.

I am floating and melting in a paradisaical fluid, I am an embryo inside of the mighty, intimidating Universe, whose breadth has neither beginning nor end. Its waters are carrying me over the waves of a reckless journey called Life.

And it seems to me I am on top of the world.
