how fragile are the gossamer threads that bind us--an elderly grandparent sits by the window waiting for a visit from the grand kids who never show; a husband and wife are so busy making a living they never have time to make a loving; a little puppy with big sad eyes stares out of his cage at the passers-by, hoping one of them will take him home; home? just exactly what is a home, anyway? small children shivering in a house of shambles because the parents are strung out on drugs; angry words from a teenager to a parent who is desperately trying to correct their errant behaviour; the body of a nameless no one accidentally found by some carefree joggers sauntering down a darkened path; and, all the while, the earth still rotates on its axis; the star still rises in the east; and the ever watchful moon makes her way through the twilight heavens.
who are we, anyway? some refuse dumped here by others who, long ago, gave up on us? they had their fill of our smugness, our eliteness, our arrogance and our evil inclination. they thought it best to isolate us from the rest, leaving us to our own devices...knowing full well that the final outcome of our evolution would ultimately be self-immolation and annihilation or a glorious awakening.
Oh, moon, oh stars, how I do love thee but I tremble when I perceive what lies in store for us as we have turned our backs on the righteous path and chosen instead the thicket of briars and brambles.
how painful it is to watch humanity's continued descent as they quietly watch from the shadows, hoping we will wake up before it's too late...
regret, disappointment, cunning, uncaring, untrustworthiness, heart attacks and heart ache, sorrow and futility, disrespect; cleverness; frustration and anger..they lick at our self-inflicted wounds and wait for our end. they hope to extinguish, once and for all, the small flame that burns within.
the mind and heart: the mind pulls this way, the heart pulls the other. will they ever learn to pull together?
