TODAY

Today I saw a leaf,
Being swept along the flow of the wind,
bursting with a life of its own.
A cigarette butt, shoes prints on sand,
Chocolate wrapper and lying among the green grass, a naked bone.

Today I saw nothingness walking.
Being nothing, behind hollow nothingness ,
with nothing in its heart,
bleeding, beating for nothing.
With magnificent halo of nothing around its head, smiling at nothing
It has nothing to lose.

Today I saw life , and death, and everything in between.
Today I saw birds, a flying kite, dancing dandelion and a child smile.
And blue sky, and leaking from clouds, strings of sun rays.
And life,
So deep in love with death, the “in between” part, fading away.

Today I saw a river, a bridge and a shade.
Today I saw the setting sun,
and on the orange face of that river,
A reflection.
A log , living , only to burn.

My mind is in the clouds. My feet are on earth. The soul is wandering somewhere, and I cannot seem to place my heart. It's just is. I just am.
