The serenity soothes my tattered soul
A resort for me to hide from the world so cold
This sleep can last for eternity till I'm old
But one can't run away too long, no no

I dragged my heavy legs up the bus, the kind bus driver shot me a smile as usual...... I like him very much, a kind loving man who has been through more than half a century......

I did not know why, I felt so tired...... This doesn't occur to me, never......

My eye lids came droopping lower and lower, till I gave up 'cause they're so heavy......

I slept, with my head pressing against the window......

The car horns and noises the old bus made became so dim and light, it's serene......

The bus driver asked me if I'm sick, for this is the first time he saw me sleep in the bus through out the 4 years he drive me back from school......

I smiled weakly and went back to sleep......

Am I sick? Coughing and influenza in physical and physiological; Emotional, I think I'm sick too......

The happenings and things I had seen, probably worn me out......

I again vistited the Dark Forest, and the blood red glow again shone on me, like a welcome sign.

I sank into a deep sleep, with cool air blowing on me, and dead tree leaves were my blanket......

Serenity is a beautiful thing, and everything a person would want......

I wanted to swim in this sea forever, I feel like closing my eyes forever...... I don't want to face this world anymore......

I'm emotionally tired, and finally I've found serenity, I should cherish it and bathe in it forever......

But alas, one can't run from reality forever, there are many things I have to face......

There are many Dark Nights in the Dark Forest, with many rises of the Scarlet Moon......

I decided to rise after 3 hours of sleep, which seemed like 3 centuries...... Not because I was struggling on whether or not to remain asleep, it's because oblivion comes dropping slow, like the veils of the evening mist......

Till the next rise of the Red Moon......
