As my eyes slowly get closed,
the water starts do drown
into my lungs,
the world shuts down.

I feel the light slowly vanishing,
as gravity pulls me down.
I'm sinking,
descending to the bottom,
the world is shrinking.

Tremendous thoughts,
urge to my brain.
And slowly,
the sand starts hugging
my skin
and everything is turning plain.

But then I look around,
there's no ocean to be seen.
So please tell me,
where have i all this time been
because,
still
my head is under water
and of you, there's no sign
I am sinking

but I am breathing perfectly fine.

t.s.

It’s describably indescribable
Perfectly flawed and
At best bittersweet
All this cause its subject
To human nature an amorphous multi-faceted
Enigma.

Four feet tall
with rosy, chubby cheeks,
with a big smile, despite missing teeth,
with the wide, bright eyes
that stare at me.

I stare right back
in envy.

Once again
I wish to see the world from the eyes of a child:
eyes filled with wonder
for all made in Creation
eyes filled with care
for men in dire situations
eyes filled with eagerness
for every challenge, every endeavor
eyes filled with hope
for tomorrow, the unknown future
eyes filled with faith
that everything has a reason
eyes filled with joy
for life will be fine, great even.

I tried to recall:
Since when have my sight been lost?
Once again,
Even just for one more time,
I wish to see the world from the eyes of a child.
