To life and more..
To life and more..
Slowly by Slowly
As every sensation was fading,
An ocean deep and wide
Laying its immense arms
Inviting a dive
To end the turmoil and torment
Concealed deep in agony and dried tears
Stood a human soul
Pondering to be or to end
A billion Thoughts flowing
Bitter sweet ,bruised and tender
Perplexing which to hold
A choice was due..
Strong blew the wind,
Carrying the hefty summer air
So thick and murky
He laid on his humble knees
To surrender or to win over
The million demons racing in His thoughts
The sun set low,
Up above abundant abendrot sky
He caught the glimpse of a bird
A humble one racing to find a meal,
Mesmerized by his colorful feathers
He wondered if a photograph was due ..
He Grabbed his phone
His eyes pierced into the costly screen
Imagining what the cybercitizens had put him through
His previously pathetic choices
Inviting abuse, manipulation and a dithering life...
He recalled the racing bird
Saw the blurred bird behind his smartphone from the corner of his eye
Struck an epiphany of the due choice
He wondered what his life was
The answer was plain
The blurred picture behind his screen was called life..
A choice was made, a human saved..
