Feeling that you will well recognise

I am fully aware that occasional eccentricities help one to attract media attention but my willingness to voice strong opinions stands somewhat apart from seeking attention for myself since it is really for global concern. The reason and the season, absurd, incongruous, inappropriate or out of place, perhaps it might be, but I love summer best. Last night as I arrived at home, soaked and wet I look up the gloomy sky above and shouted obscenities at the echoes of a silence and cool night in England for an ostensible reason. The nights are very long in summer time and there is always something to do in the warmest season of the year. In dreams I spend my nights sailing nautical miles at sea in a fairyland yacht even though I have never been a sea dog or lived near the sea. In winter my fantasies are completely different nevertheless, my imagination is still unrestrained by reality and it is something that I appreciate very much indeed. In my fantasies I speak to the wind, the sun and, at time, to the almighty, and as I do so I wander about the streets of Hades holding an invisible torch of apprehension and fear. Laughter and the uttering of a piercing cry seem so weird, to be not concerned, at night time, It seems unreal, and as I avoid to walk in the direction of the impending danger I cannot help but a feeling of anxiety and agitation around me. When I was a young man my bed was always where the night found me and my pillow my baseball cap was which I often wore as a fashion fad. I used to sleep well until l found the love of my life but the mortgage, health issues, my daughter's education and my concern for the environment took my sleep away from me. A critical look at myself makes me laugh and cry, perhaps, but these are feeling that you will well recognise. We are not different after all.
