Crazy dreams during COVID lockdowns

Chapter one

A woman with mysterious look gazes at moon like a desperate seeker searching for something which is hidden in its own being waiting for someone to uplift the veil of ignorance down the centuries and to end all the miseries for a better perspective and clear consciousness like a prism

Vivan and his friend Ronit were walking along the beach. They came to the beach to watch the sunset over the horizon.Vivan has not missed any sunset since he has come to India after the chaos of COVID 19.This Pandemic has changed the lifestyle of Vivan.He began to appreciate nature which otherwise was a forgotten subject for him.

They enjoyed the cool breeze of December blowing over the beach.The waves were touching the feet of Vivan as he came very near to the shore.He loved the touch of cool waters barefoot.He was lost in the moment.Ronit smiled when he saw Vivan feeling the waves.

"Do you want to meditate watching the full moon sitting on the rock and waves touching it?",Ronit said.

"Yes,it will be a great experience.I will feel rock with the vibration of waves in the light of white moon ",Vivan said in excitement.

Ronit and Vivan went in the direction of rocks.They watched the sunset standing over the rocks.Vivan was feeling the waves touching the rocks and going back again towards the sea. He loved the whole moment.

Vivan was so lost in watching waves that he didn't notice when the sky turned black and the full moon appeared.He came in his senses after he heard the sound of a passerby ship.He looked at the ship and then at the sky.

.........

This is the night of full moon

The moon is shining at the brightest

The waves are moving with moon

The stars are twinkling at peak

The wind is cool

A woman appeared on the rock

She is the mystery of full moon

He gazed at the moon like a desperate lover. He was mesmerized by the glow of the moon then suddenly he heard the splash of water.He saw a blue woman with a fishtail covered with seashells sitting on a rock.

She was meditating on the full moon.Vivan found something strange with her.She has the sweet smell of fish.She has the glow equivalent to a star.Her eyes are deep like sea. Her hair is as black as the color of night. She is the beauty beyond the Vivan's. Imagination.

He sat behind her.He was waiting for the moment when she would open her eyes and see him but she took so long that he fell asleep on the rock.In the morning he found himself sleeping on the rock.

He recalled the memories of last night.He remembered that beautiful and mysterious woman who was meditating on rock.He also wondered about the disappearance of Ronit with the appearance of mystery.

Vivan again looked at the sea and thought about the peaceful sleep last night in the fresh air of the sea.He didn't want to leave the sea and go home,so he closed his eyes.The beautiful face of mystery appeared before him.

Mystery was not the first woman in his life.He had dated many women in New York before COVID times.He was spotted with a new woman every month and no other woman had distrubred his mind so much.

.....

I close my eyes

I see your face

I can't forget your fishy smell

I want to lose myself in your eyes

I want to be with you

I know you live in the sea and I am ready to leave everything for you.

When Vivan opened his eyes he saw a mystery sitting in front of him. Vivan was so mesmerized by her hypnotic eyes that he didn't speak any word. She was smiling at him.

"I saw you last night but I didn't know that you were able to see me because no ordinary human can see me because of my magical powers.",she said to Vivan.

"I don't know.",he replied.

"You cannot be an ordinary human.You are here for a purpose.A purpose which is hidden from you because of your ignorance."Mystery said.

Vivan was impressed at her ability to read others' minds, so he said, "I was a software engineer in the USA but after the chaos of COVID 19,I came back to my country to find the purpose of life."

"The purpose of life can only be found in depths and if you want to experience these depths then you shouldn't be scared of depths.Go to your home right now and come to the same rock on the next full moon night.I will assist you in finding your purpose.",Mystery said and jumped in the sea.

Vivan also went to his home.His parents have expired in an accident when he was in New York,so was all alone at home.In this period of 28 days he just thought of mystery.He was only waiting for the night of the next full moon.

Everyday he looked at the calendar to check if it is the day of the full moon.He remembered the mystery in each drop of water he consumed because she comes from water. Water is his best friend now.A companion of his loneliness.He meditated everyday on that rock to understand depths of waves and water as advised by mystery.

......

Water is my love of life

It's blue color allures me

It has many depths

The depths of solid, liquid and air

I want to be in waters

I feel home in waters

The night of the full moon came.He was sitting on the rock since the evening.He watched the sunset over the horizon.He was desperately waiting for the moon.The moon appeared and with a splash of water appeared mystery with her music instrument.

Vivan smiled at her and she sat on the rock in front of Vivan.Mystery looked in the eyes of Vivan and said,"I have told you to understand depths so play a deep music for waves over this instrument."

Vivan laughed aloud and said,"Waves cannot tolerate my loud music and I am afraid that in anger they will drown me."

Mystery also smiled and said,"You are thinking too much.Waves will accept whatever you will play with consciousness and gratitude."

Vivan felt confident after Mystery's assurance.He played soulful music to express gratitude despite being an amateur. Even waves became silent for a second to listen to his music.Mystery was so immersed in his music that she forgot everything.

When Vivan saw mystery immersed in music he came closer to her and held her hand and said,"Can we click a picture together for my memories."

She nodded her head in agreement but when he opened the camera of his phone it didn't capture the mystery. He tried many times but was unable to click her pic. Mystery kept the phone aside.

Mystery kept the phone aside and looked straight in his eyes and asked "Do you know who I am."?

......

You are my mystery

The mystery of sea

The love of my life

The depth of my life

The meaning of my life

The purpose of my life

Mystery stood up and jumped into the sea with the sound of splash.The sudden disappearance of mystery shocked Vivan.

"You cannot leave me in between.I am coming towards you.",Vivan said aloud and jumped into the sea.

Vivan didn't know the sea from inside so he was not able to find mystery.In five minutes he started choking because of difficulty in breathing but in all his misery he was uttering the name of mystery rather than god.

Vivan remembered the face of mystery, her fishtail and seashell,her deep eyed and her melochancy voice which can hypnotise anyone. He became unconscious after remembering her. He was drowning deeper and deeper in the infinite sea. He was floating along the waves.
