"what a sunny day it is," i thought.

another tranquil day to be spent in exclusion. wings gradually fading away, making me unable to roam freely.

though i'm faraway, i'm still longing for you. how your voice soothes me. that intoxicating scent of yours. every detail about you makes my heart pound.

the waves are crashing the rocks by the beach, guiding my way out of the underground tunnel.

"oh, how i wish my wings weren't fading. it'd be a long journey to the coast."

each step i took brought me deeper into the woods. never have i witnessed such scenery. the sunlight passing through the small gaps between the trees lit up the path. who would have expected that it'd be so confusing to get through the woods.

this path has no end. i'm lost.

"what is this strange place?" i haven't met anyone the whole journey. why am i still alone?

"anyone there?" all i could hear were the morning chirping of birds and the rustling of berry bushes.

i decided to rest on the bough of the nearest tree. it felt way more comfortable compared to the old creaking chair in the underground tunnel.

"i have explored so much, but why do i still feel confined?"

sometimes, i feel like there's another side to me. it's asking to be freed electrifying my body and soul.

barefeet touching the ground, i'm one with nature. this is who i am. i let my body move in sync with my spirit. with my fully faded wings.

that's when i heard the sound. it's calling me. i woke up by the sight of the seashore.

"was it all just a dream?"
