Need a Break

I need a break from exams, from school, from life.
I need a break from myself.
I need to shut down my brains.
I need to give my heart a long unpaid maternity leave.
I need to stop time and fall into a deep in the middle of nowhere.
No Dreams. No nightmares.
I need to stop thinking.
About now and the hereafter.
About life, heaven and hell.
No one. No time. Nowhere.
Just miles and miles of whiteness.
Just me walking on the moist grass. Bear-footed.
The smokey white mist caressing my skin.
Walking down the road.
Not as a woman. But as a human being.
No plans. No expectations.
No people. No prejudice.
Just me. God. And the road.

I need to make friends with random people.
Talk to strangers.
Tell them about my life.
Share them their happy memories and sad stories.
I need to take a train trip to an indefinite destination.
Escorted by no one.
No family. No friends. No lover.
Just a bag full of books, some cash, a couple of outfits and a box of chocolate.
But most importantly, a heavenly window view.
A window of a train.
A classic old movie train.
With my coffee mug between my hands.
And the smell of the hot coffee penetrating my nose.
Tickling my brain. Sending shivers down my spine.
The mug softly touching my lusting-for-caffeine lips.
The small sips swiftly tapping on the taste buds of my tongue.
Rolling down my throat in joy!
