Why
His sweats a salty syrup
He muttered time is up
And crashed with a mighty splash!

For the fraction airborne
Did he once mourn
His life passing in a flash?
why end life without even making a beginning?

Confusion festers deep in my brain
In this drought I’m the last drop of rain
Never to be the same, I am lost
Wondering through this bleak terrain
Soon to be denatured by a single parched grain

To fly as
paper birds
soft breeze to carry me
Wings rise, kiss the clouds
adrift, a dream
above the
Sea

Grey
Or just black

A few strands of which
I found in her comb
In one untravelled recess of wardrobe
An untouched memento
From past two decades
Not graying
Not growing
Undeclined
Undestroyed

black and thick

the only relic

for her son!

lovely little girl

looking out from under her lashes

big bright world, she doesn't know what to do with it

newly released into the world with little more

than a whisper on her lips, a blessing tucked in the corner of her mouth

and the words that appear in the sand

of the beach she stands upon for the first time

"you will be magnificent"
