In the middle of the heart

So much stressed for two weeks, deprived from sleep, physically unhealthy. Then finally, I sneaked time to snooze for a minute.

I had a dream. There is a sheep with fluffy yet fuzzy fur like it was never been bath. The first time I saw it, its like a cuddling barn animal with grayish ears which may be somewhat trickery. For I, myself, has been fooled by its shape as if it was a horn.

And maybe that’s why people are berserk about this fluffy ball.

Some are murmuring. Some are taking shots. Some are looking at it with disgust and a ‘what’s-that-freaky-thing?’ I heaved a sigh. I mean ,what’s their problem with this now scared furball? For all I know, he’s lost and needs love.

This animal then took a step wanting to be free from their gaze and gossipers took a step backward in fright. Oh my poor boy, judged by those whom afraid of him.

One more step this stranger made and the crowd left… except me. I can’t leave someone who’s lost specially he’s alone. I found myself making delicate slow steps ahead for him, gently not to let him be scared of me.

5 steps or more I finally touched the peak of his nose. He yelped but suddenly forwarded himself in a way of cuddling me. Now, I’m curious finding other men, how they went nuts seeing a new specie,never known in our place, who is this sweet.

I didn’t notice how time flew by. All I know is, we spent sometime. Named him "Chuck" and played the rest of time. I made him smile, yes but there’s something lacking- his eyes, his eyes were forlorn.

This is the moment I’ve realized that I need to get him back to his own home. Yes, I can give him joy but it’s only temporary. What he need is the true love he can only find in his home.

I’ve started walking, with him beside me, wanting to search for the way but, its not easy without directions.

He then pointed something on his body where I saw a something sparkled. I went near him to see it and here I looked a silver stringed necklace with a red pendant. Scribbled the letters, I came to the phrase, “In the middle of the heart” It’s vague for me. Where is it? Whose heart? Chucks’? Mine’s? This land’s? The sea’s?

I woke up with a heavy feeling as if I’ve done a extreme sports. My little bro told me to rise because it’s already dinner time. Oh my, its no longer a snooze nor nap, I slept for five hours-but hey, what happened to chuck? It’s the mystery I never knew.
