I am Alive

The following writing is one tiny story from my novel, which I mentioned in my first post of this blog. This story is part of the seventh chapter of the second part of the third book of the trilogy: "Now Disclosed Was Concealed". I will let you read it, and don't feel shy to comment :p

Lub-dupp, lub-dupp, it was the sound of my heartbeat. I could hear, which meant that my senses were anew back. I was alive once again.

Speechless.

My eyes were still closed wanting to see if I could breath. The smell of autumn leaves falling due to its breeze flowing soothingly refreshing my long dark brown hair and my one-fist tall dark brown beard. I moved my head up towards the sky and felt the pureness of the air and the calmness of the place. My heartbeat faded as I realised that there were birds all around me dancing and singing with such lovely lyrics that I could never understand. Maybe they were not singing, but probably praising God as I was. I was alive.

I sat upright and held my arms onto my knees. I opened my eyes and the sun flashed its gold rays upon me. What a beautiful day it must have been. I admired this beauty. I always dreamt of this scenery for some reason.

When I looked around me I realised that I was lying down on a path, which was only two or three people wide, between grassland, and I could see a windmill, which would most probably be used to grind corn seeds, next to an old house in the midst of this countryside. Amazing, is it not, to live, or even imagining living in such gorgeous places? If this was the life I wonder how it would be like at Heaven in the hereafter. Still gazing at the scenery with my own light brown, watery eyes I doubted that a person would get bored of such marvel.
