An Elusive Star
In the vast silvery world he walked
Between dancing white elves of snow
Singing to him in soft suppressed sounds:
"Come to us, stay with us"
Sirens in white, shivering entities
teasing his weaning fickle stability
His blind eyes spoke to his deaf ears
pleading to his confused mind to
turn around and straggle back
But all he wanted was to see that one star
and to stop everything there.
While his gait slowed down and halted
A duvet of white cold warmth enveloped
his lonely determination and he dropped
to his knees in the icy realization that
he finally found the elusive star.
While a fissure emerged beneath his knees,
the star welcomed him in and carried
him away in rippling soothing numbness
He embraced to be saved from a world,
where no one saw his bitter desolation.
An unseen being amongst haste and hurry,
until he was nothing but a shadow among them.
