Ruminations


 

How is it that

The garden is devoid of flowers

And I am wondrously blooming

 

How is it that

The sky is grey and cloudy

And I am soaked in warm sunshine

 

How is it that

The wind is fierce and erratic

And I am tranquilly perched

 

How is it that

The sun is setting at horizon

And I feel joyfully elated

 

How is it that

Everyone around is tattling

And I am far from whispering

 

How is it that

Guns are firing

And I hear the sounds of peace

 

Is it the optimistic side of me?

Or have I reached salvation?

Is the vivification eluding me?

Or is my heart now stone cold?

Is it that my emotions no longer haunt me?

Or my spirits have just died?

 

These questions remain unanswered

And I dwindle between the sight and soul
