To be human is to be hugely affected by what is happening in the world
Sadness, depression and grief may linger in your heart
Colours fade into one tone of grey
You may even gasp at the edge of despair, sometimes
For one breath of hope, you’d give your life
* * *
Often, you may question your sanity
You may wake up screaming at night
Your pillow soaked with tears streaming
You may wonder if it is all but a bad dream,
A nightmare rather
Or is it a 3D horror movie in which you’re sucked into somehow
An observer, helplessly watching
* * *
Did I read that correctly?
Did I truly hear the little girl saying such words?
Is that world for real?
Are those perpetrators even human?
Did I land in the wrong universe?

Volcanoes erupt in your chest
Battles rage in your head
and you,
YOU… are crushed in between
* * *
* * *
Watching in curious apprehension
You try to regain bearings
To be a voice of reason
Amidst this madness
* * *
You hold your fearful heart, tight
You take your mind by the hand
Hush hush its flying thoughts
Tap its shoulder, ever so gently
and whisper
Dear mind, do you mind to step aside for a moment
With all due respect, your knowledge is but a speck
Infinitesimal
You are not the author, you are not the hero
Not even an actor, or a comma in the script
and the story, O the story
Written on plane ∅ with letters of Light
Finely tuned explosion shattered nothingness into being
Time was born
Layer upon layer, the cosmos unfolds
Pages turning, evolving, a masterpiece
Exquisite beauty
Grand splendour
Sublime grace
Each chapter surpasses the one before
In elegance and magnificence
Imagine the ending, in a world unseen !
Heart serene
* * * * * * * * * *
* * *
Be conscious of the soul you are
Listen to the songs within
Spread your wings high and wide… Rise above
Heighten your inner resolve … Affect change
Tighten the rope to the Source… Spread hope
Smile at the rainbow again… The End is worth it
* * *
