My World Is The Best
I want to touch the sky. I want
to board a rocket headed for one of Saturn’s moon, Titan. I want to drink water
flowing in a river on the celestial body till it runs dry. None of those on
Earth can ever quench my thirst. I want to kiss the ground on Jupiter's moon,
Ganymede. Basically, I want to be in a place where time doesn’t exist, but
somehow, I know such a place doesn’t exist. I want to be where there are no
wishes, no desires, no hopes, aspirations, no hunger, thirst, famine or
draught. I wonder if such a place exists even in the outer world.
I did my best to search for such
a place on Earth, but I wasn’t blessed with success. There are all sorts of
rivers, geysers, spas and sauna baths in this world, but none of them can ever
provide the succour your company can. You can change the definition of my
world, I know, and you can do it in a jiffy. I wish I was endowed with some of
your prowess. Your world is also going to undergo a huge change when I step
into it, I know, but I’m not sure of the extent of change I shall be able to
effect in your world.
Your world is a lot better than
the one I live in, I know. I want to fly into outer space, to another world. On
second thoughts, if the other world I fly to is going to be as much perilous as
the one I live in is, all efforts I make to this end are going to be futile. I can
never be sure if my journey is to be successful. My best bet is going to be to
try to explore my world and look for chances of it being habitable without you
in it.
Your presence in my world is
certainly going to make it wonderful, I’m sure. My world appears to be as dull
and serene as a desert without you in it. I’ve been walking through this desert
like a nomad with a parched throat for a long time. There have been several
mirages in this desert, but I haven’t come across a real oasis for a long time.
You are the oasis I have been
looking for all along. Its boundaries shall demarcate everything else. You are
to mark the beginning of my world, and you are to mark its end too. My plans of
flying to another world shall be nullified whenever you step into my world. A lot
of my plans are headed for an alteration and several others are going to be cancelled
at the moment. I wonder what made me make the resolve in the first instance.
A plausible reason may be my dissatisfaction
and discontentment with whatever I have today. It is a sin, I know, it is a sin
to be thankless for what I have, considering the efforts others make to get what
I take for granted. I have a lot of what others don’t have. I only have to turn
around to look at a sunrise I have been witnessing with my back to it. I might
miss quite a few more beautiful sights if I remain in this position I have been
for a longer time.
So, I turn around. I turn around to see a beautiful world
Allah has created for me. It has you in
it!! I don’t want to migrate to another world.
