Nov 2017
It felt like the wind seized and i couldn’t breath
     I wandered lonely as the stars which are beyond reach
     When all at once i saw a thousand horses
     Racing towards me all looking like ambassadors of death
  
    My heart racing like tigers chasing a prey
    I closed my eyes to find peace
    Rather i heard whispers of death
    I am screaming but my voice is without sound
    Fear in my heart grew like weeds in a fertile ground

   My soul wandered out of my body
   My eyes lost sight due to fear of what’s coming
   At this moment I am like the desolate sun
  I try to think of heaven and hell
  I tried to ascend and live in paradise with angels

  My feet as stagnant as deep roots
In flashes came the life i have lived, filled with kisses i will miss
I see myself as a child again
The sweet taste of my mother’s breast became sour in seconds
Luck will race faster than these horses i believed


Pray for me i screamed to my soul which is now far away
Come to my rescue i told my guardian angel
If he dare comes here
i hope he gives his life in place of mine
In a second i prayed to all the gods there is to be

I believed in heaven i believed in hell  
I lift my eyes and behold eagles
I believed and prayed to them too
Hoping they could bless me with wings
Void in the heart filled with fears and doubts

I sent my thoughts soaring to my maker
In a minute i have drifted in the streams of this world
Bound by chains of self-beliefs and self-doubts
Faith and self-belief raining out the skies
I commanded these horses to stop
I couldn't imagine another life
Waves of darkness made me understand
I am a god.
life is about discovering yourself and rising above your fears and limitation.
