Misty with Hope

I woke up to a new morning today. It was ordinary in every sense of the term, yet it seemed to have a strangeness that seemed odd. I woke up to the sound of raindrop on my window-sill........Anxious, Curious........There was something telling me ," Welcome to My World..." what, who....I could not tell. I walked up, sleepy-eyed, to fetch my toothbrush, an event which marks the beginning of a mundane day with various shades of grey. As I looked in front, I was startled to find somebody standing in front of me, strangely familiar yet unknown. " Do I know you?", I asked. He smiled  at me. What was so funny about the question?.... I looked at him bemused.... a little perturbed I must say. And he begun......" Life is strange, you see. You wait eagerly for something, and when faced with the obvious you never seem prepared. Life follows the laws that govern Nature. It is a streamlined  sequence of events that is definite,and irreversible.....Laws of Entropy my boy. Every moment there is a sapling waiting to look up and above, a butterfly waiting to unfurl itself, a foetus waiting to be welcomed to this world........the events are mutually-exclusive, and simultaneous.......And now is your turn to walk my son.....walk the walk of life.....Go spread your wings my boy......." It sounded philosophical crap, something you least expect when wake up in the morning...yet there was a certain part of me that wanted him to continue.......And that he didn't...I looked around but he wasn't there.....wasn't anywhere. Certainly this slogging is taking its toll, I said to myself as I washed my face and looked into the mirror ........ misty with Hope.
