Rebirth

Aah! I see the sun still peeps from behind the murky clouds. I hear the distant bird chirping, a hopper celebrate the velvety night.

All is not lost it seems… I must not defeat faith. It binds, beyond brick and concrete.

It is time I keep my conviction alive, and sow saplings for new life to take charge.

Home coming

I have come back to a barren land. The green of moss has replaced that of young, fresh leaves. The air that I take in smells stale. Beaches have turned into little dens of slugs. I see high tides all around ready to consume a land that grew with it. It is as if I have come back to the infested remnants of an unfortunate dynasty; as if, I have entered a world that is not mine.

I am guilty of the abandon. And that is crime enough. I seek a second chance!
