Coffee

Friday, April 10, 2020

Hello, Your uncanny faith in what we have, what developed along the way, to uncertainties ahead. Is most of my muse these days. I did not bring anything to the table, nothing beyond necessities. Yet you morphed whatever scrap we had, mold its concoction of an existence to a meaningful whole. You could have moved on, you could have ended it all, you can still just fade to a life of your own.

Life, me, everything is not perfect, nor I am expecting you to be. Hope there is some forgiveness left for me, and for my stupid puppets and their rhymes. In any case, I will be waiting here, behind this screen. …

In the midst of chaos I reside, a distant observer to my own life. I am in a thought-created vessel, drifting this calm, endless sea. My oarsmen row in silence, their voices swallowed by the abyss. I stand expressionless at the bow, staring at the shimmering reflection of this starlit sky. Every time I close my eyes, whole worlds flicker past— deserts, mountains, lush green plains, life at its apex, all unseen in the waking hours. …
