Dear strangerA Poem by Irene_asteris
Dear stranger,
Don't you think How beautifully cruel This fragile existence so called life That cannot be even called an existence But a term that explains us Like an ill-fitting shoe is? When you are walking through A dark alley with prayers and an umbrella Under a clear pastel sky of the first hour, You come across a sickly cat darker than night itself. And clutching your umbrella harder, These prayers slip from your fingers. Lost beliefs whisper the brightening ether Clearing into the specks of misery inks Is just an illusion of the final hour And the invisible dark rain is just a step afar. So you try to chase the cat away Hoping that this dusk wont be an another night But it leads you into the main street of light And once you look up, the blooming dawn whispers‐- It never left your side like an unfinished play of time. But for the cat all this never mattered Because the light never reached its fur, dark and dirty, And before you could even bat an eye It was already on its way leaving you to your life. Dont you think Just how brutally kind this fragility is?
