Shock

Satya Pattnaik

Suddenly unnoticed
A page of black humor conspired
I was not surprised
Accepted as mortal diplomacy
Possessed of my destiny
Yielded by time

Frozen everything
Clouds stars rivers feathers of birds
Flowers and green paths
House of my eternity suffered
Metamorphosed black
Multicolored sailing ship
Turned white
Determination deterred
Time hollowed and promises less
Gifted with
Deserted letterbox
With a of black horse
To live and carry on the rest of life
