Overnight

a poem

Things have changed suddenly.

Thoughts and feelings have decayed,

becoming fertile soil

for future possibilities.

A mysterious veil surrounds me,

free from judgment,

focusing solely on current plots.

The world's events are irrelevant now.

Interrupting volcanoes and hurricanes

cannot destroy this little faith.

It moves and merges

into another quirky theatre.

Here, the distribution and crossing

of societal roles proceeds smoothly

in a separate reality

free from negative influences of forces

without a purified purpose or goal,

preying on other souls

ripped apart and shunned,

copied by the future generations

to the high extent of guilt,

buried in the garden with the dog

and covered with white and orange zinnias for show.

    And what shall spring forth besides zinnias from the decaying corpse of this dog? Something which itself be subject to the same frailties, falling to become fertile soil for something else to become.
