Ray of sunshine

Sunshine in the dark 10.02.2009

Waves were coming and going in a strange rhythm
Restless as small children running around
Deep blue ocean was rolling to and fro the land
As if some priest was chanting some ancient hymn.

Scattering away white petals around him
Waves carrying those petals with them
Their sound was echoing like his hymn
A lonely soul was standing watching them.

Running away from life, too tired to fight
tired of a life devoid of laughter and light
gathering up the courage to take the last flight
to turn his back on the light and walk into night.

he stood there watching the waves coming one by one
tears rolled down to think he’ll be mourned by none
he will be forgotten like the waves when they are gone
then he took the step to do what should not be done.

He turned his face at a sound coming his way
Then he walked away from death just turned away
Gently bowed down and picked up a small ray of sunshine
Left on ground by some guilty soul who will later pine.
