"The radio is crooning echoes of poignancy tonight as she reduces its volume and settles down with her oversized wine glass full of nothingness. She takes another gulp and lets the emptiness engulf her.The lights are dimmed now as he sits by her and tries to fill her glass. She shies away, getting up to walk to the radio and turn it off abruptly. The hollow sound of silence was better too. And the silence is broken by a lonely cricket just outside the window.
She walks outside to shush it. And in the darkness, more crickets start off in a crazed pitch, making her want to cover her ears and scream, begging them to stop.
She hears him switch the radio on again inside the house and the eerie far-away like sound reaches her in the garden. She looks up, begging for some lonely god to hear her, know her need and give her back what she wants. The nothingness.
Instead headlights beam in her face just as she looks back down from what seemed like a prayer just now. The sound of the engine was drawing closer and she caught her breath, hoping for what she wasn’t supposed to. She had just asked to return to her quiet cocoon and now she was hoping for other things. Just seconds later.
Even the crickets and the radio were drowned out by the engine as it drove closer, almost as if it were coming straight for her, into her arms. And then the unexpected happened. The front door opened, just as the car took the next turn and drove off into the night. No one was coming for her.
She felt his arm on her shoulder. And a lonely raindrop on her face. She ignores his touch and looks up again. Was her lonely god crying for her? Another raindrop fell. And another. Soon they were both standing in deluge of tears. Neither caring. She, trying to find her way home. Him, trying to lead her back there.
And then as suddenly as it started, the heavens just stopped crying. No drizzle. No random raindrop. Nothingness. No sounds. But the radio would still not let it be entirely complete. The echoes of a distantly familiar melody begin.
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things will be brighter
Someday we will put it together
And get it all done
When your head is much lighter
Someday we will walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Someday when the world is much brighter
Suddenly her back arched as if some magnet pull
was begging her to give in. He drew her in and
held her as the wracking sobs decided to take over.
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things will be brighter
And she let him hold her and fill the emptiness. It was easier than longing. To give in. To let go. And so they stood there for hours, as the earth drew in the tears that the skies shed just moments before, taking her tears with them.
You just wait & see
How things are gonna be
A strange orchestra of sounds took over, like some force of nature had decided that the silence just wouldn’t do. The crickets started again. And then an owl in the distance. A stray cat, who finds comfort in their tangled feet. The radio still echoed an eerie melody. Even the wind was singing tonight while on her mission to chill the world. And through the little gaps in their silence, the light began to creep through. Dawn was breaking. And then the horizon was ablaze, reflecting a flame of reds and yellows and greys in her eyes. And as the colours began to dance in her eyes, she found herself in his.
Ooh child
Thing are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things will be brighter"
