Coexistence






Coexistence





The perpetual silhouette of this bleak reality

always dangling,

like a black veil

in front of my bleary eyes

those black dots

swirling in the abyss

and a never-ending surreal dream.



everything starts

and ends where it begins

even nightmares can relieve you from ashen reality

Life grows under the dirty pebbles in the garden

somethings can balance itself on the tip of the pin

Can you imagine?



that moaning frog near the pond

seeks its reflection under the moonlit night,

unfettered by the tranquility of the pond

jumps and finds its peace

even joy can exist within the chaos.



The catharsis of breeze

neatly tucked in the pond

spreads like an infection

riding the ripples.



No one can judge the pain seething at the bottom

death always floats at the top

Life exists within absolute mayhem.
