The Longest Waiting

It’s a lifetime. No less.
For him, it felt like years. Not months, Not weeks, not days.
He saw so many moons, so many suns.
The flashes lasted longer night after night
Faster and more confusing as time slowly went by.
He felt he lost so much in a blink of an eye
The scars were there to remember him that he forgot something.
He’d wait alone somewhere under the trees.
He didn’t know if someone misses him
He didn’t know if someone remember him.
-
Staring at the sky filled with white dots over the forest,
In the highest point of the highest mountain.
This waiting would no longer bother him.
He learned to fly with the birds from the wilderness,
Just so he would be sure he’d fail the final test.
And in the air he felt the sky holding him like a feather,
The dots shined brightly enough to blind, but he kept his open eyes.
He kept until he could only see white,
But somewhere in the infinite he saw a blur,
Deep inside he knew what it was, deep inside he remembered who it was.
And in a final breath he raised his hand… and no longer felt anything.
