SOUL..

A quiet, sleepy neighbourhood,

Still the darkness stood,

Rustling footsteps,

A crazy breeze knocking,

Running up the doorsteps,

Trying to listen to a decibel of sound,

Whispers of breath,

Murmurs of the night,

Undertones of an uncaring gloom

Float in the air,

Agitated minutes,

Turmoiled seconds,

Gnarling hours,

Moments bled,

The being in pain

Unbearable,

Unendurable,

Overpowering unrest,

Yet the calm mind

Held on ruminating,

Meditating,

The pained heart, still in control

Of the sensations,

Turbulence of time,

Moving sands of moments,

The soul serene

And tranquil,

Just holding on to that glimmer of light,

That shines through the eclipsed sky.
